The woman released from hospital, man still in with serious injuries. Today , the news reported it happened while someone was reloading ammo. I am trying to think of how it might have happened. Ideas? Last edited by TBREW401; 10/08/21.

Maybe if he would have been smoking while reloading with Black Powder. Like I said, sounds like Bullschitt to me. Last edited by chlinstructor; 10/08/21.
