AMEN! One more reason I'm not into shooting at events, gatherings, and such. I don't like pointless rules. I clear the smoke out of all my sidelocks and flintlocks before reloading (with the exception of my 10 gauge double
). It serves a purpose, and it's plenty safe. No need to do it unless you just fired it, in which case, it is a harmless hollow metal pipe.
