There was a lot of unsafe practices going on during that period. I remember a story reprinted in the ‘Field’ where a man shot himself accidently while pulling his gun out of the back of a wagon by the muzzle the trigger must have caught on something and the gun went off. His gun would have had to have been place in the back of the wagon at full cock in order for this to happen. Crazy stuff!

And Ballistix999 is shooting an original Westley Richards, so he has a pretty good shotgun there.
