Muzzleloaders-a good reason to deprime!
 
Leesburg, VA- the local newspaper reported today that a 58-yr old police vetran was killed in an accidental shooting Monday, the opening day of Muzzleloader season east of the Blue Ridge. The report stated that the firearm discharged upon striking the ground as the gentleman was lowering his gear from his tree stand. His hunting partners heard the shot, and responded about 45 minutes later, when the gentleman had not exited the hunting site.
Safety, safety, safety.
