Mortar incident at Muster In The Mountains NH.
Tadd Drumm AKA Tadd Dumb fired a mortar loaded with a black powder filled tennis ball into camp.
It exploded next to a tent and a young woman who had just sent her toddler off :cursing: . I know the folks that were nearly burned.
If this guy shows up at your event don't let him have any form of bangstick cannon or black powder.
The Ancient Ones Of Maine had to educate him about dragging a loaded cannon through camp some 14 years ago. I guess you just can't fix STUPID! :doh:

He should have been rogue's marched out of camp with the strongest incentives never to come back.

Wow, that (and the loaded cannon) are fairly insane. Reminds me of a universal personae-non-gratae named Gregg who was demonstrating a trebuchet (catapult) he built with lots of people around and the swinging basket missed taking some "royal's" head off who was standing behind it by about 1".
 
Y'all did right in druming this guy out of camp. However, for curiosity sake, I would like to know how he did the fusing for his "shell."
 
UH...YEAH~ BATF WOULD HAVE HAD A FIELD DAY WITH HIS 'MORTAR' ROUND!!!!!!

makes it bad for those of us TRYing to keep our toys....and doing everything by-the-book! :cursing:
