Haz, that Deputy Dawg shooting a hole in your ceiling story just made my day. It always amazes me how some people won't ask how to do something, when they don't know how to do it themselves. I recently had a sister-in-law call on me to unload all of her husband's guns, when she put a restraining order on him. He'd told her they were all unloaded, but all 3 were full mag, 1 in the pipe. I also had a neighbor bring over an old S&W 1917 revolver with the hammer cocked on a loaded cylinder. She didn't know how to uncock it and had it that way since her husband had passed 8 years before. She'd stored it in a closet, cocked, in a room where her grandchildren always played. They'd never found it, luckily.
