I think you can buy a gfi breaker and protect everything on that circuit at the panel.

That would be golden!

yes you can but at that point you are m protecting the whole circuit and are prone to more faults because of old or weakened condition .

I did, but we were way out in the pucker brush so it took awhile to get there.

I tried to come up with some BS to cover it with my parents, but they knew it was from fast drawing. That was the local popular craze at the time, spurred by the TV show Gunsmoke and Have Gun, Will Travel.

I actually won my high school fast draw contest at .22 seconds, but the pistols were empty and so its unclear where it was pointed when you heard the hammer drop.

In fast draw contests the difference between winner and looser is hundredths of a second and the US record is closer to .20.

Obviously faster on the trigger than the draw..................

I was fast at the draw in my youth but slowed considerably due to age

Define trouble? I had to sell my Colt Frontier Scout and buscadero fast draw rig.

Sounds like trouble, I guess there was no point in saying you were a quick study and there would be no repeating the incident.

It was Dad's solution, but it worked.

If you can change a receptacle it's not a bad idea to shut power and open each one and install new.
It is IMHO and experience when you get into a apt type situation invariably some one has plugged a heater in and cooked something whether a wire or a receptacle

Fast drawing a single action Colt is a niche skill, with limited practical market value this day and age.

Ostensibly I would want to change the outlets to accommodate three prong plugs, as long as they are protected by ground fault with no ground wire.

I just think if you are talking 2 rooms that perhaps 8 recepticals
you could do it with the circuit breaker off and not call a electrician.
I wish you lived close to me or my cousin Sal

The fellow who I bought my St Bernard from had shot and killed his younger brother in a hunting accident. I can't image the torment he went through. If your Dad's solution prevented future problems and caused you to reflect on your actions, then it all worked out.

I wish you did too! Replacing the load center is easy enough, but it is a rental and I would need to permit it, which means I need a licensed electrician for the inspector to sign it off.

With the other three I paid to have the new load centers put in by a licensed electrical supervisor and then ran all the circuits myself under his aegis, but the rentals were empty and I had the walls open so I had easy access.

It is actually two bedrooms, one upstairs, a living/dining area, kitchen, bath, and full daylight basement, which includes a garage.

Still some people who do it though I prefer a Remington clone for reliability over the old open top colts.........cowboy up.
