RADNOR - A camp counselor was wounded in a gun mishap at Valley Forge Military academy this morning, authorities said.

Wow, what the heck is going on with the firearms handlers? Do they not check the weapons to make sure they are unloaded ... sad to see, especially after the death at Sunset Hill a while ago ... you would think better safety precautions would be followed.

They have an indoor range where they only allow .22's if I recall.
