Watch yer topknot

I also am glad to here that there was not any serious injuries. I have spent many many hours on firing ranges and lines. I have been on ranges firing everything from BP rifles to fully automatic weapons. Safety is everyone's business and responsibility. It if Very important that anyone seeing anything being done that is unsafe bring it to the attention of the person as well as the range officials if it continues.
One accident is just one too many, Period.
I have also had the unfortunate experience to have been on a range where there was an individual shot. It was self inflicted, he re-holstered a .45 automatic with the safety off and his finger in the trigger guard. He spend a long time in the hospital as that bullet broke his femur in I think 2 places. He was in traction for quite a while and a long time recovering and as far as I know that bullet will be with him the rest of his life.
It only takes a moment to change many things for the rest of your life.
It is very easy to get a little lazy, let our guard down or just not think about what we are doing. I feel that safety needs to be stressed more now than ever, and especially to those that are new to the sport. But safety needs to be stressed and repeated until it becomes habit for everyone.
