there we have it folks !!!!
I've had the occasional FTF/hangfire (before I learned to dress my vents/harden my frizzens) and still do with BP revolvers.
I pay enough attention to know for a fact whether each trigger pull was productive or not.
I full well understand the "Ten Commandments" of firearm safety (which has been lengthened by some to 21+).....but I also understand that more people have shot themselves (according to hospital records) since the 10C implimentation, than before they existed.
They're a politically correct concession that too many people have chosen to replace common sense with.
I'll stop blowing my bore and swab instead......oops, can't, that would have my hands in front of the muzzle.....
ok, i'll load w/o blowing or swabbing.....OOPS, can't do that, hands in front of the muzzle again....
even if I did decide to "risk it"....i'd look pretty silly trying to load a rifle that's laying flat to avoid a possible sky discharge.....
y'all all DO load your rifles flat to avoid a shot possibly going up into the air and landing who knows where......right??
