One Montana reenactor must be thankful that this didn't end up in disaster:
Dwain Haggard?s high school history lesson on Friday backfired.Haggard, who used to be a Civil War reenactor, was showing the five students in Reed Point High?s American history class his replica antique black powder muzzleloader when the gun fired and lodged a ball in the front wall of the classroom.?I can?t explain how it was loaded,? Haggard said.
Yes, He probably will be fired. A better question than why he had power and ball in the weapon is why he had a cap on the nipple. I can understand not knowing there was powder in it but it is not like you can accidentally prime a muzzle-loader for firing, you have to very deliberately put the cap on the nipple.
I really don't think he should have had the rifle there in the first place. He could have made a home video and demonstrated it from his garage or something. He set himself up for this mishap.

Oh yes we students always pay atention to something on the tv when in class...he did it so the kids could see what they were like. I agree with what he did when I was in grade school I was a member of the SASS.The man that got me into it was a personal freind to the family and my history teacher (i was in a small town of about 800-1000). Well this school had trouble making the marks on state test so what he did for the class is he brought in certan wepons (that was okayed by the whole school board). but his guns were NEVER EVER EVER LOADED.The teacher should have gone through a gun safty course when he frist started reenacting lord knows I have for SASS and reenacting. This is totaly his fault and should get canned.

Well the guy deserves to be fired for being irresponsible. He's probably a stand up person, but there are consequences for things like this. He's just lucky nobody got hurt or he would be spending time behind bars for wanton endangerment or something.
