Guess he really gets a bang out of his hobby.

When cannons are outlawed, only outlaws will have cannons!
I'll give it up when you pry it from my cold, dead, very large arms!

The cannon owner's explanation: "I was just cleaning it and it went off!" (Also a useful excuse if your wife catches you... well... you know...)

One of my father's neighbors has both a cannon and a mortar. Both are blackpowder. I've been there when said neighbor has touched them off--both at the local rod & gun club's ranges, and down the street in the housing development they live in (it's a close-knit neighborhood, and they've taken steps to ensure that nothing gets damaged, and so far, nothing has). This guy's had these artillery pieces for about 20-25 years. The "projectiles" are cement-filled dog food cans. Kinda easy to find, too, once they've been shot.

That neighbor with the shot-up house must have a real short fuze!
