I still can’t figure out that ruling.

Sparks.

Sparks? Really? In a place with massive muzzle blasts.



The indoor range I described in a previous post that had exhaust fans,
etc. was eventually closed due to concern of a spark causing a fire or
worse.

Again, if you have muzzle blasts going off all day, what in the hell
will a spark do? Have you ever shot a gun in the dark? Flame shoots
out of the barrel several inches for a .22 rifle and a handgun will
shoot a blast of flame worthy of a 4th of July celebration. A short
.357 will shoot a dragon's breath of flame 5 feet or more.




What do you think is hotter ... a flame from a muzzle blast (or other
source) or a spark?Â*Â* Answer might surprise you.Â* A spark has very
little mass, so normally little damage from them occur but they can
be much hotter in terms of an ignition source than a flame.



Damn...I could use my .357 revolver to ignite the charcoal in a charcoal
grill...if I had a charcoal grill! Or to light a buddy's cigarette, if I
had any buddies dumb enough to be smoking cigarettes!

That is actually a survival tip. You can start a fire with a muzzle
blast but they recommend removing the bullet.
