Terrific pics Ted. Seeing those pics reminded me that I love the smell of black powder. That big POOF of smoke really lets you know you touched one off. Smokeless powder has taken some of the charm out of shooting IMO. "One of these days" I'm going to get myself a blackpowder Sharps 45-70.

As for your other excitement, let's hope they take that guys license away for a long, long time. Very lucky no one got hurt.
