Riding on the quad 2 up on goat patrol with a AR or bolt action, have used the shoulder of the driver many many times, standard procedure. The same safety rules apply to the process, a live round is only chambered once the rifle is in position and safety only disengaged immediately prior to pulling the trigger. Double discipline is required with the AR as it is with any semi-auto. As long as the driver wears muffs or ear plugs he’s fine, plus a tolerance to spent brass down the back of his neck.
