[Donnelly]

Remember folks, alcohol and guns do not usually mix well.

Crap, that sounded bad. Wonder if it was a smokeless powder savage?

Pic that was posted in the article says it all....Definate OUCH X 1000

He's lucy to be alive by the looks of it.

 

[ghitch75]

more like double charged.....

 

[combat45acp]

Ya, reloaded page, picture didn't show up on blackberry on the 1st try. Not a Savage...crap that looks bad!

Definately lucky to be alive, 1-2 am along with alcohol and black powder= poor mix.

i saw that in the paper this morning ..not good ...

 

[johncarbaugh]

I had not heard about that yet. I did hear some shots going off after Midnight and that was only about 3 miles away.

I have to admit, just their names scream redneck.

The last words before the explosion: "Hey Y'all, watch this".

It looks to me like the round or wadding wasn't seated on the powder charge, resulting in a huge pressure build up in the area ahead of the chamber / percussion cap vent.

That sucks for him. Alcohol removes the word "responsible" from "responsible gun owner".

 

[Mosineer]

Wonder if he did not realize there already was a load in the barrel or intentionally overloaded it to make a bigger bang?? Should have been able to tell with the length of the ram rod sticking out if it had a load in it..drunk or not...either way rates full scale on the stupid meter...at least there is a good chance that he probally..ah maybe won't do that again

I would like for you to say this to his uncle face to face I could sell tickets

 

[Dawall]

Black Powder? What's the difference?

 

[451_Detonics]

Not a double charge...not with black powder at any rate...even a quadruple charge will not blow up a muzzleloader like that. I would be the farm on it being loaded with smokeless powder...happens often enough and the damage to the gun is typical of a smokeless powder kaboom.

Stupid should hurt, no sympathy here. I am just glad no one else was hurt.
