Hunter survives muzzleloader mishap

[Halftail]

Unless the photo & light is playing tricks on us, the trigger guard appears blue so my guess would be a Renegade

I was thinking a Rennegade as well.Looks just like the one here alongside me.

any firearm is a dangerous tool but IMO BP guns require even more caution than modern.

[david50]

the word "DUMBASS" comes to mind.

-----was he Mex? they might have to print the warnings on the barrels in Spanish also----- :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: think he will try T.C.s warranty on that gun?-----

 

[Walks Alone]

The scariest part is he probably can still breed.

" told investigators that he had loaded the muzzleloader with modern smokeless gunpowder instead of the required black powder,”"

Maybe so.....or could it have been an Indian barrel made of tubing?

It is probably a dangerous assumption that our hero here could read the warning on the barrel!

Of course he could read. He knew he should only use BLACK powder so,when he saw that the Bullseye his buddy was reloading with was BLACK in color, he went out and bought some.

I bet that is the last time he does that. Well with that gun anyway.

The TC Renegade or Seneca are good quality arms, used under the right circumstances of course.

The last one I saw was clearly marked for Black Powder use only.

Maybe he couldn't read.

Not even enough barrel left to make a good CANOE gun out of! :haha:

 

[Eric Krewson]

I would be willing to bet he is looking for a lawyer to sue the powder manufacturer because they didn't print "don't use in guns designed to use black powder" on the can. This is the first move for most idiots.

Stupid is as Stupid dose..

When I worked on the streets, we had a saying,,

98% of all that get hurt from trauma, are done by people that cause it to themself from doing stupid things..

It shows he is part of the 98%

Well, we know our friend "T" blew up his savage with smokeless powder...maybe this is "T" in drag, trying to make money some other way

Darwin strikes again! Nothing like pouring a bit of bleach into the shallow end of the gene pool........

That guy is stupid on multiple levels. Afterall, he was trying to unload it when it went off in the first place.

Reminds me of a short conversation I had with a guy at a gunshow once. He didn't want anything to do with muzzleloaders because "they blow up too easily". His brother had apparently managed to blow several of them up. He didn't know how, but I'm assuming smokeless powder.

 

[sparsons]

wonder how he was trying to unload it? I am thinking there must be more to the story.
