Doug,
You have to watch out for those .22s. In 1963 while living in a military housing area, I put a .22 through a window shade, window and into the neighbors patio wall while cleaning my Walther PP. I replaced the window blind slat and told the engineers that I poked the window out with a mop handle while I was cleaning under the bed. Probably would have never made it past Spec-4 if they hadn't bought it (or maybe they didn't care...times were different then). There ain't no cure for stupid, but I learned my lesson and have never had even a close call since then.
