Phones in trail vehicle: 215-740-7578, handheld; 215-510-8522, hands free. Cell
Phones with riders: list to be taken day of event. Firearms: Re-enactors
will be carrying either antique or reproduction Civil War era muskets, rifles,
or swords. Unlike modern weapons these will be black powder, muzzle
loading, percussion cap pieces or early repeating designs such as the Spenser
or Henry, with the single shot Sharps also being available. The re-enactors are responsible for safety but be
aware that these weapons are never safe if the hammer is back or a percussion
cap is in place. It is possible to double charge these weapons as well –a
powder charge may not ignite or the user may not fire the weapon before
reloading. There is no easy, visual way, to tell if a muzzle loader is loaded
SO ALWAYS ASSUME THEY ARE LOADED. The only live blank
rounds should be in the saluting pieces and none of the other weapons should be
loaded at any time. Percussion caps are small, copper clad devices that
fit over a nipple on the weapon and are struck by the hammer to ignite the
powder in the weapon. They are not safe once they have been dropped or
hit without detonating. They are the equivalent to primers in modern center
fire ammunition. Contact: tbd City Police: There are supposed to be 2
radio cars assigned to the parade itself. An additional detail is to secure the
area at Lemmon Hill. Contact: Capt.
