Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

A few weeks ago I chaperoned a field trip to a civil war muster

It concluded with a few volleys of the muzzle loaders

I just so happened to see a few of the kids pick up some unopened black powder cartridges that fell during the presentation

I mentioned it to the teacher and she wasn't too worried about it

So I explained to her what black powder is, it was funny to see her face drop as the realization sat in that I just told her some of her kids had packets of gunpowder in thier pockets
How on earth is the teacher not up to speed on something as basic as that? Well done on educating her!
