A Rural New Yorker correspondent offers gun handling guidance. Inquire if loaded before use. For muzzle loaders, place the butt outside the left foot, put hammer at half cock, point muzzle away, remove ramrod and test for a charge by tapping the ramrod. If loaded, feel a thud and see the ramrod projecting. if not, the ramrod sinks and taps the breach plug. Never handle a loaded gun except to discharge it and never point at any living thing you do not intend to kill.
