Was on a forum yesterday,{ won't put the name out there} A guy was asking how to unload his inlne muzzle loader, was scared he would set the charge off by removing the breach plug.I've done this many times,is it just me,
there are people out there that should not play with firearms what so ever.I told him to pour water down the bore and unless the seal of the projectile was 100% he would wet the powder and be done.He finally said he just fired it to clear it.When i hunt it's with a very select group who know how to handle loaded firearms in the field No horse play what so ever,no pointing loaded firearm at any body parts.safety on. I always check my safety before i chamber a round.never trust a mechanical device.that gets gared by explosions,from shooting.I've hunted since my teens and have never had a firearm accident and i'm 68 and have no plans on starting now.muzzle loaders are not as safe as i would like them to be but again it's who's caring the weapon.
