I must say static electricity is another issue and has always concerned me. Why we don't have more explosions reloading shotgun shells and pumping gas is beyond me...easy to become complacent.

The pumping gas issue is over rated. Have you ever actually seen a news story about someone blowing up while pumping gas? I never have. Urban legends don't count. Same for using a cell phone while pumping gas, totally BS. As for static electricity sparking powder while reloading, wouldn't be too concerned about that either. Static might cause some powder to cling in a press, but out of all the shells I've reloaded and all the shells all my buddies have reloaded, we've never had an explosion, and if there was one, Big Bro and their lap-dog media would be all over it.
