About 1963 for a couple of years I worked for Tisdall's Sports (PNth) after school.
Someone came in and slipped a Ramset blank into a .22 and left it cocked, and of course at some stage later a customer pulled the trigger. Fortunately it was still in the (public access) rack but it left a burn scald up the green wall paint from the muzzle. It could have easily been a live round, And it could have easily been pointed at someone.
And it could happen at any time nowadays too. Sports shops need to remember this.
Yup. Open the breach every time you are passed or pick up a firearm.
