The word ‘squib’ is used in other applications, but for the purpose of this article the term is known and used in relation to firearms. A typical round of ammunition is made up of four components, the outer casing or ‘shell‘, the primer, the gun powder, and the projectile or ‘bullet‘. This will only be a general outline of production; When these components are assembled at the factory in mass production, the primer goes into the casing, the casing moves to the next step where a measured charge of gun powder is funneled into the casing, then the casing is moved to the next position where the bullet is seated. Next they are all boxed and sent to the store for you , the consumer.
In the event of a squib load………

NOTE: If you read this page, also read about Squib loads: #Gun Sense 6, Squib Load? It would make sense too…..
Some of you may already know what a misfire is, it is caused by a faulty primer at the back of a bullet casing, that when struck by the gun’s firing pin will not detonate, thus failing to send a spark into the main powder charge of the casing, that would have, in turn, sent the bullet on it’s way down the gun’s barrel.
So here is a little scenario: ……….

I can hear them now; ‘what do you mean all guns are loaded all the time?!’ ‘That’s stupid!’ ‘I have guns at home right now that are not loaded’! ‘Hell, I was at the gun store the other day, none of them guns behind the counter and on the wall rack were loaded’!
I say, yes they are, they are all loaded, every gun at your house, every gun in that store, and everywhere else, they are all loaded.
‘Your Crazy!, They Are Not’!….
Listen……

How many of you have children? How many of you know someone with children? They are everywhere, and because they are everywhere they can get into mischief just about anyplace. Where guns are concerned there can be no room for mischief.
I am originally from the state of Maine where the gun culture was quite a bit different from where I live now, in Massachusetts. People seem more savvy about firearms and firearm safety generally in Maine, this is what I have observed in my experiences within both states. Growing up I had a lot of supervised exposure to firearms, that was the key, and I learned early-on how to safely handle and use firearms, it was encouraged. Knowledge kept me safer than someone without firearm knowledge. If that makes sense to you, as I hope it should, than I will share a bit of advice designed to keep your little ones safer than they were moments before you started reading this. Children, we all want them safe.

How do people get killed by so called unloaded guns? Have you ever thought that this was possible? It is possible and happens, sadly, on a fairly frequent basis, it is in the news from time to time, but it does not have to happen. People are quite often killed by ‘unloaded’ guns. The reoccurring theme is, “I thought it was unloaded”! Foolish and sad.
Now, it is inevitable, that once a gun is in the hands of someone that has never had any sort of firearm training, the first thing they seem overwhelmingly, inexplicably, inclined to do, is to put their finger on the trigger……

Gun Sense #1, Introduction
Author: Mark Shean
Mark Shean Sr. author of #GUN SENSE, on Amazon.
Hello, I am no lawyer, I just try harder to keep up with the gun laws that effect people in Ma. than others do, so if you do not agree with something here by all means research the answer for yourself. In this series I have written some numbered articles, {50 and counting} entitled #GUN SENSE. Many of these come directly from my experience’s and touch on various aspects of firearm safety, (just scroll down and click any article #). Gun Sense is a useful reference extension beyond my class. We talk about some of these things in our firearm safety classes, (please look them over) along with the laws, (GS #32 + 41) set down by the state of Massachusetts for the Basic Firearm Safety Course for those who would like to apply for a License to Carry (LTC) or Firearm Identification Card (FID).
With this class comes our support long afterward, consider us your ‘safety net’, if you have questions in the future rest assured we will answer them through emails, GUARANTEED. If you have trouble with gaining your license we will point you in a direction to succeed, and if for some reason it is beyond our scope, (seldom) we can put you in touch with a group of lawyers that may take your case for free, *it rarely comes to this level of assistance. This is a level of assistance I have offered all my clients since I started in 2000, it is not found anywhere else, a little research is all you need to confirm this.
We take your success in gaining a LTC or FID VERY seriously. My son Mark joined me with many, (26) years of firearm knowledge/experience to his credit giving the same level of excellence and follow-through in every class that he will give.
In my opinion, gun owners who vote for any candidate(s) that are in favor of ‘gun control’, amounts to the same thing as turkeys voting in favor of Thanksgiving……… get my meaning? Mark Shean
Tragic Events with
common denominators.
Why Carrying A Gun Is A Civilized Act
Common Sense? The meaning has ‘flip flopped’
Remember, The American Revolution would never have happened had government “gun control’ already been in place, watch very closely all who want it. Ignorance of history can cost you your Freedoms.
Remember; {Firearm Education Will Save Lives, Firearm Ignorance Can Take Lives.}
