[QUOTE="dluehrs, post: 2161639, member: 115673"] When I turned 14 I got my first legal job “legal meaning a job where my great Uncle Sam took a portion of what I earned” at a gun club. Saw some interesting things there. One family reloaded and absolutely should not have. Several “blooper” loads and although I was 14 I was the range officer in charge pulling lines of skeet and trap and had to insist they clear their barrel. I was already reloading at that time. I saw two guns come apart at that club because someone had not cleared their barrel after a blooper load. I saw a muzzle loader barrel blow up as well that got stuffed in a snow drift and then shot at a buck. My dad was a Marine and taught me gun safety from as young of an age as I can remember. Due to all of this I am still very picky today about who I choose to hunt and shoot with. Pulling thousands of lines of trap and skeet I have witnessed delayed ignition more than once “another thing to keep in mind as we are discussing safety issues here” and fortunately the shooters were either experienced and counted to 10 or lucky and did not open the chamber. I did one time witness an individual who pulled the trigger, we all heard the click, and he as quickly as possible removed the shell from his O/U 12ga and threw it as fast as he could like a hand grenade. I refused to pull lines for that team after that. By the way the longest delayed ignition I have personally witnessed was a count to 4. [/QUOTE]
