RE: Classic 'BONEHEAD' mistake!
I borrowed a friends 45 Optima for my youngest to use on our MZ hunt.I brought it home and as usual I started checking it out to see if it was clean and anything else that may need attention. I pulled the breech plug and couldn't see through the barrel. Yep, it was still loaded from whenever he had shot it last. I removed the 2 pellets and bullet and put them in a 35mm film canister and gaveit to him the next day at work. He opened the canister and said, yea, that's what I have been shootin out of the gun. Did walmart still have some left? He had no idea it was loaded. He kinda freaked when I told him where I got the load from. Maybe he will pay attention next time. At least I hope he does.
