It's a good thing when someone can admit there wrong. No matter which side of the fence your on. I think people believe this, because it sounds logical. That don't mean it's correct.I guess I'm wrong and you're right.

RespectThere are so many of these, and they just refuse to die regardless of evidence to the contrary,,,, it is very frustrating.
But, like I've said, I am open to having my mind changed.
Upon doing some research I came upon this article by a guy who had done the actual test:

I guess I'm wrong and you're right.
Even an old geezer like me can learn something new.

I'm not answering for him, no dog in the fight. BUT maybe he didn't know there is no danger from the sock/carpet size spark and was just passing it on for others? Kinda like Pondy generously offering up tid bits of WRONG info. But the OP did it once, not once everytime he logs in. Just sayin....Soooo, are you a BOT or a POS -SCAMMER, or BOTH?
Why would you copy & paste that from my friends thread in the modern forum?
I still have my old offer up to share my moose milk solution for $5.00 for all who really care and want the BEST out of their range time. Years of research, mostly sober, have confirmed. PM for where to send the $5.00 and we'll get you shooting your best groups next time out. Its easy peezie and you can substitute stuff as you have handy.There is something about shooting ML's that some people want to make very hard or there is some magic secret to do it right. Take cleaning, we know that simple warm water (with soap or not ) will clean your firearm and then throw some oil on it and you are good to go. But oh no, there are 1,001 ways that you have to follow and they usually work best under a full moon.
You are not completely wrong. Efforts to ignite BP with static and even the spark from an automotive spark plug failed to set it off.I guess I'm wrong and you're right.
Still when inflammable components are pulverized dust that can float in the air, then static electricity becomes a concern. There are dust explosions that occur in mills grinding flour for baking.
There is a difference between a static explosion from a large volume of extremely fine dust particulate in the air, under very specific conditions,,,, and setting off BP in one's horn, gun, primer, etc.However, I think it was concluded that some of the issues (explosions! ) in BP manufacturing are suspected to have been caused by a build up of static.

Much respect my man, we need more people like you who can look further into things and openly/publicly admit they had something wrong.Upon doing some research I came upon this article by a guy who had done the actual test:

Mythbusters did a whole segment on the cellphone gas station thing and couldn’t get it to go.Are you saying a static charge can NOT ignite BP?
How about a cell phone at a gas station? I've never heard of one doing it but I know from over 40 years in radio communications that the potential is there. The potential is also there for a cell phone to ignite BP.
All it takes is an arc or spark. You can throw a spark as easily as plugging in a power cord. Dry conditions increase the chances. Most of us take precautions without ever knowing about it. Many precautions are built into things. But some also insist on being stupid about it and place a second, third and even a sixth round in that cylinder before placing the barrel to their head.
I think that's a fair and reasonable assessment of a person's position.....
If one is acting on old information, are they "wrong," or just misinformed? I would contend they may be wrong when they are confronted with new information that proves their former position to be inaccurate,,, but still hold to that old position. Maybe?
It looks like the OP is merely trying to get enough content to be able to buy & sell in both forums. Prob the same thing in other forums as well. It’s not a far stretch I’d think.I'm not answering for him, no dog in the fight. BUT maybe he didn't know there is no danger from the sock/carpet size spark and was just passing it on for others?

I remember when powder came in a can and range rules wouldn't let pour from a plastic container then powder started coming in plastic containers so now we don't worry about that any moreThere are so many of these, and they just refuse to die regardless of evidence to the contrary,,,, it is very frustrating.

Yup.I remember when powder came in a can and range rules wouldn't let pour from a plastic container then powder started coming in plastic containers so now we don't worry about that any more
