I recall a time last summer when one of my guys (not my son, but, one of the other 20 I own for a week in the troop at summer camp) was trying to clear a misfire on his own, even though the range rules at Scout camp were that the rifle MB instructor clears misfires. At one point, he had the gun perpendicular to the line of shooting tables on the range apparently, yikes. I didn't see it, but, others told me he was chewed out pretty severely, as he should be, which is how most infractions on the range were handled. (Gotta get the severity of the issue into those little skulls full of mush.) He was done for the day, and told to not return to class tomorrow without his Scoutmaster (that would be me). We had a long talk about safety before we went back, and his dad, who's also a volunteer with the troop, shared some of his "thoughts" with his son that night. (His thoughts were rather, ah, heated, but it was his dad).
