That's good advice but it would take more than a bump to set one off, especially if it was on the safety notch. I know the notch is the weak link but just sayin.DON'T cap the nipples 'til YOU ARE READY TO FIRE. Leave ONE chamber UNLOADED and carry the arm with the hammer on that chamber. Just a bump to the hammer on a black powder arm will KILL you or a bystander.![]()

Awareness was my goal. Thanks for your comments to clarify!That's good advice but it would take more than a bump to set one off, especially if it was on the safety notch.
