i went to a civil war reenactment at Duncan Mills in Northern California. i had a blast! after the first battle, we were allowed to go to the camps. i noticed so many of them were mistreating their guns! it made me feel kinda bad. they took these pretty muskets and jammed the bayonet right into the soil to store the thing! one guy in the confederate camp was loading up his brass 58 Remmys, had them pointed in the direction of some kids and side swept me in the process. i am very adamant about gun safety, i don't care if that gun was loaded with blanks or if it was empty. i know that when they are doing the battle reenactments they shoot blanks at eachother at a long distance, but still, it gave me the "heeby-jeebys" seeing that blue and cold barrel pointed towards my gut.
my question, is that a characteristic of reenactors?
again, i am very much aware that the guns are loaded with blanks, however i felt a little might nervous that they weren't using basic gun safety. I have seen what even blank rounds can do.
anybody here do reenactments? i am thinking about joining C.H.A.S. (California Historical Artillery Society) and doing that, i figure it might be fun. at the very least i can set a good example for others.
