if you reload and shoot muzzleloaders on a fairly regular basis you are going to sustain a severe injury that could potentially cost you your life
No bud, are you sure your not a women. You seem to hear what you want to hear. My exact words are sooner or later your going to make a mistake. I was assuming the crowd was smart enough to understand that in rare cases there are injury and most of the time you get out it smarter and better. Anyone that reloads enough has a case lock up in the chamber. It do not mean the gun is going to blow every time, or even 1% of the time. If your going to drive a car, sooner or later you are going to make a mistake. Doesn't mean you are going to be in traction, just means you might have a fender bender, you might end up dead. Dad gone man, I considered that an easy one. It sounds to me that shooting period is a little dangerous for a guy like you with so much to risk. Maybe you can take up nintendo or whatever they do. But then again the EMI exposure could cause you brain cancer.
Lots of people do dangerous work on here Jsmes, so don't feel pregnant. Even I an engineer now, used to work in the coal mines. No big deal. Life is full of chances. Your never safe. Anything can happen at any time. The more people try to control these, the more out of control it becomes.
I just want to know where men's guts are these days. As I say I think Randy's crap is something he has been pushing and seeing it if its there or not. If someone investigated every blew up pistol/rifle/shotgun and sit here and put a story on every one, you would think there was serious danger in something you thought was safe. I have yet to see a modern ML explode but seen shotguns and doublebarrels. I still shoot. Well see where life/chance will take me.
More than likely coal dust has affected and clouded your judgement, maybe a lack of oxygen to the brain, so I will try and keep this short and to the point. If you would like to come on up here and check out my manhood I coordially invite you. It seems you are an authority on things like that.
My point is and always has been, if there are substandard products out there people should know about it. To tell someone if they shoot muzzleloaders and reload enough they are going to make a mistake, makes me wonder if you should be allowed to even own firearms. If your knuckles don't drag on the ground and you stick to tried and true safety practices there shouldn't be any mistakes. You on the other hand. " probably will sooner or later make a mistake".
