Are you saying I deserve to be shot? 'Cause that ain't very nice. ;-)

Believe me, though, there's some people who would use live ammo if they thought they could get away with it. And there's been more than one incident where an improper weapons inspection failed to detect a live round left over from a day of target shooting. I think it was at the 1999 over-large Gettysburg event that someone loaned his pistol to a friend who was participating - he hadn't checked it himself, and it turned out to have a ball in it. Someone did get hurt, albeit not seriously.

Some of us Civil War buffs are fun people. :-)
