    Sounds like a missed learning experience for your friend.

    Why did YOU let him load YOUR mags into YOUR gun ?

    Was the .223 beside the 7.62x39 ?

    Friends teach friends how to load mags and guns safely.
    Someone stop the planet and let me off for awhile. I need a break from all this stupidity!!! - posted by Northern Amateur

    We are annoyed by the assumption on the part of certain public figures that the citizen should be able to prove the need for the citizen to acquire a means of protecting himself. The citizens personal needs are certainly no business of the state. Liberty, when it's in place, grants the right of the citizen to do what he chooses, as long as he does not stamp on the rights of others.

    Because he has his PAL, years of experience, owns some of the same firearms I do, and isn't a complete idiot (or so I thought at the time). I had him load magazines to save time, and was watching him initially. The .223 and 7.62 were both clearly marked, kept apart, and looked distinct from each other. Of course one of the times I'm not paying attention he goes full retard. I was not very impressed.

    Was more a learning experience for me not to trust anyone but myself when it comes to my firearms; direct supervision all the time, no matter what, no matter who.

    So I got an update from the gunsmith today. Aside from having to clean out the unburnt powder and the remnants of brass, there was no damage done to the gun.
