It is not unknown for pranksters dumbass nitwitted idiots to fire a gun with reduced loads, then to hand it to the unwary with full power loads.

Fixed it for you.

Unfortunately, the shooting club I once attended allowed the presence of a couple of these type dummies.

After one incident involving a S&W 500, with a 16 year old as the victim...I threatened resignation if the idiots were not immediately barred.

They did not, I did.

Three weeks later, an innocent man was injured and lost partial sight from the results of one of those damned "flamethrower" shotgun rounds, surreptitiously loaded in his wife's trap gun by one of the aforementioned idiots.

The lawsuit put the club out of business and in debt forever.

I was subpoenaed for testimony and was deposed, but never got called.

I would have castigated them loudly and clearly, had I been called.

There is NO excuse for that kind of crap, most especially involving firearms and unknowing and unprepared victims.

That sort of stuff is bad when done to grown men who are supposed to be capable of taking care of themselves.

It is doubly evil when done to children, novices, and women.
