It doesn't sound like a big proportion to me. Say, for n = 10, and for 10 years of "exposure" to this risk, it would mean that about 0.03% of the people will die from an accidental firing. Is this number correct? Or is it 900+ deaths per _day_? Alberto Monteiro _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
