That was my post as well.terryg wrote:Thanks for the reply's. I remember reading about someone on this forum that had a round roll of the table and hit just perfectly to ignite the primer. It probably couldn't be repeated (with out a hammer) in a million tries - but I know it is at least possible.
Here was the story:

I have argued here a few times for responsible (and intentional) gun ownership. For me, much of this centers around properly securing weapons when they are not on your direct person or otherwise under your control. This is particularly important to me if you have children of any age living in your home. I think quick access safes are a must unless you simply never have children in your home.
Personally, I have always also kept the loaded magazines in my quick access safe which is in the bottom cabinet of my nightstand. But now that I have been carrying more frequently, I am tempted to leave the extra mags in the top drawer of the night stand - for space (as I have a few pistols in there now) and convenience.
