By your description, the customer was a female that didn't know much about revolvers buying a 357 Mag. That is probably a disaster in the making.KnightsFan wrote:Customers like what?Merkwuerdigliebe wrote:Carry as in concealed carry or carry around the house/range?

See something, say something is just about letting the law enforcement get away with profiling by having non-cops do it.

Was in the news reports. What can I say? And in my cursory review of a Google search, you'll find lots of references.rascally wrote:Any firefighter personnel or other first responders who are worried about ammo exploding in a fire needs more training.

In an ammo can or not, the cartridges are still not locked into a tight steel chamber. The results will be the same. Perhaps they were stashing tannerite targets? Those may well make a nice boom...Merkwuerdigliebe wrote:Was in the news reports. What can I say?

The vid you posted also never tested the common storage method that lots of people use. Ammo cans. Which from what I understand from above Google search, can be quite explosive.

Ammo cans are sealed with a piece of rubber gasket. That rubber will burn off way before the ammo is hot enough to ignite so the gasses from the rounds will escape and the steel can will contain all the rounds.Merkwuerdigliebe wrote:Was in the news reports.

So limit yourself to four rounds for a non-issue? Modern revolvers have transfer bars or hammer blocks to avoid that risk completely...TxChinaman wrote:The big box stores around here like Dick's, Sports Authority, and Academy tend to have gun counter clerks with limited knowledge of firearms. Cabelas and Gander Mountain seem a little better, though I did once hear a Cabelas clerk tell a customer she should carry the Ruger SP101 .357 revolver with an empty chamber aligned with the hammer (like an old time single action revolver) to prevent an accidental discharge.TrueTexan wrote:The one time I went into Dick's Sporting goods and asked a question about a gun. I came to realize how they got their name. Not only was the clerk ignorant but very rude.
There is no excuse for that behavior or the actions in the story. I understand they are having financial troubles. Serves them right. karma is a bitch.
