After our recent experience cleaning a muzzleloader that had been left loaded and not cleaned properly, this comes down the newswire: (Print version came from The Daily News, Greenville, MI)
NEWAYGO, Mich. - A Newaygo County man died yesterday when he and his father tried to clean a muzzleloader gun.
Jason Charles Mielke, 28, died from a shot from the weapon that they found near a dumpster.
According to the Newaygo County Sheriff"s Office, Mielke and his father were trying to clean the weapon, but a breech plug was stuck. They put the gun in a vice and used a torch to heat the barrel in an attempt to remove the plug. The heat from the torch caused the gun to fire, striking Mielke. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
