On Re-enactors and firearm cleanliness.
They were banned as a group from a range that I used to attend because the neglect of their weapons was considered dangerous. This did not apply to individuals who had shown the right attitude.
Shortly after re-enactor groups were banned at this particular range a group giving a demo at a country town had a fatality.
During the demo a gun failed to fire the owner did nothing other than push the ramrod down the barrel and as they were marching off, the charge fired and the rod fatally wounded the person immediately in front.
That’s the gist of it, I don’t remember all the details.
