Firemen hate inadequately stored ammunition.

A great (great?) uncle (I never knew) was a caretaker at a church out in Nebraska back in the early part of the 20th century and he was doing lawn maintenance at this church, and was raking, and he struck a cartridge that was lying in the grass unnoticed. The cartridge fired and the bullet took his eye out and blinded him in that eye.

Talk about a freak accident...

My curiosity kicks in, and I ask, was it the bullet that hit him, or maybe the cartridge case?
