Also, and not to pick on any one individual, I know that if you pull the triger on a loaded pre-64 94 Winchester with the hammer on half-cock (safety), it can release the hammer to fall on the firing pin. I had it happen once when I was a kid and I was fiddling around pulling on the trigger with the safety "on". The hammer fell, trying to fire the shell in the chamber, but the rifle (thank God) didn't fire. I NEVER forgot what could have happened if it had fired.
I guess in that instance anyway, there wasn't enough weight behind the hammer falling to set off the primer. Maybe next time, huh?


I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.
