Title: Cell phones and speed loaders
Post by: WymoreWrangler on June 20, 2008, 11:17:25 AM

I carry a snubbie most of the time when I'm carrying, and was wondering if a cell phone in a jeans pocket has enough static electricty to set off the  cartridges in the speed loader if they were touching, might be a question for Myth Busters...

I don't see how it would be possible since there is no exposed gun powder.

Not going to happen.
What made you think a cell phone is prone to static electricity?
