    Muzzleloader discharges during class

    Hey gang,

    Found this article today. Don't think this really helps "the cause" too much . . . .:wink_smil

    After further perusal of the 'ol web, I found this article that provides a little more information:

    Folks..,

    I would be surprised if this individual is still employed. Makes you want to just shake your head and wonder why some individuals are even allowed to handle firearms at all...

      Not just a blank, but loaded with a ball. Idiot.

        In addition to the stupidity of not checking to see if it was loaded. Why was it capped, indoors no less? Any idiot can claim they didn't know it was loaded but how can you not notice that it was capped?

          He capped it to fire the cap.

          I am glad this [guy] wasn't across the field from me.
