Cayugad - funny you should mention fouling a barrel in town. I know a guy who did this. He went to pick up his friend at 5:00 am to go hunting and while waiting outside for him he decided to foul his barrel. He figured if he did not put a PRB in, the powder would just burn off and foul the barrel - WRONG.
Following the KAPOOOW - all the lights in the neighborhood came on. Cops showed up in 5 mins. Luckily we live in a small town and most of us know the cops as he did. After some explaining what happened and some snickering by the cops, he and his buddy went hunting. It took a while for him to live that one down.
