I still canâ€™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!

Why don't you use it to burn off the nose hairs hanging out of your nostrils? You could get your ear hairs while you're at it.
