Ohh but it's fun pointing loaded guns at people..... It's an international universally recognised method of communication, that is highly effective in solving language barrier issues.
But seriously when out in the normal hunting world the wisest words are always treat it like its loaded!
The army taught me that people can do stupid things when they are careless with rifles, seen one guy discharge while unloading through a door on an accommodation blockSo lucky the guys staying there were all out at the time. Was interesting explaining to the grunts how the hole got there.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

"AD's" (accidental discharges) whilst hunting can result in "ARFF" (accidental return friendly fire) having spent time in the ADF myself the only person i trust with a fire arm is me and me. having had a student on the firing lining with the rest of the class firing sub-machine guns he had a miss-fire and instead of raising his hand and keeping the weapon pointed down range he kept his finger on the trigger and turn towards me across the firing line the motion of which dislodged the offending shell he then emptied the mag across the firing line how he didn't hit anyone i don't know but he was roughly dealt with post haste never trust a safety catch the only safety catch that works is finger of trigger and chamber empty never point muzzle at people and check what is behind your target before firing so you know where the round will end up if you miss or it go's right through and of cause after all that enjoy he hunting experience

Up Eppalock years ago watching the boat races we had a game of cricket, about 8 a side some of us on the other side , anyway one guy was running to make his ground and bumped the umpire [one of us] at the bowlers end.
Next thing we see is a guy loading a double barrel with SGs and waving it around calling us all sorts of names.WTF
Any way I got as close as I could speaking softly as I was going to knock him out If I could get close enough.
never did he collapsed to the ground the rifle was quickly unloaded and wrapped around a tree.
Seems the guy had a break down, but can tell you first hand its not good looking down the barrel of a loaded rifle.
Ambulance can and took the guy away, Cricket was abandoned and drinks called
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
That is nasty 3D, not all people would have the courage to walk towards him.
