RE: What an idiot!
Actually it would be a pretty sorry guide who didn't know the status of the clients gun before he took him out. I take guys out to shoot prairie dogs once in a while. To avoid wasting time and materials I evaluate their equipment before we leave the farm, I always take a couple of extra rifles and let them us mine if their stuff isn't up to snuff.
The ammo thing, well thats just rediculous.
