I wouldn't ever be found at a shooting range. There are more firearms owned by Americans, than there are Americans who own firearms. Millions of Americans don't possess any firearms at all, and have no interest in them. Assuming that "everyone" knows that you have to open a gun to check for ammunition is a pretty horrible assumption. Especially since there are millions of us who have no idea how to even do that and are NOT interested in looking it up to satisfy your argument that we should know.

Baldwin is a firearms expert. Just ask him. Plus if it was your job to know, you would know.
