Re: Three People Injured in Florida Gun Range Mishap

Just woundering if they were shooting reloads. I know if the primer isant set all the way in, when the slide slams forward it will fire again. (have done this on purpose to test the therey(sp)) This along with a defective gun might cause the extra rounds to be fired. Just a thought.
