'Nother "Accidental" Shooting at a Range...

[COBrien]

Just saw this come across my screen...

Curious as to the facts here. Not saying he was trying anything funny, but I'm also very much aware of the fact that most situations referred to as "accidental" discharges are actually negligent discharges due to poor trigger and/or muzzle discipline. I'm just glad no one else was injured.

Be careful out there, folks!

Just hit the range yesterday. Fortunately empty except for my son and I. The way I like it. He knows gun safety.

Want to take bets on whether or not this was a Glock takedown? I always hated that the trigger had to be pulled to remove the slide.

Drop magazine, rack slide three times, physically check it is empty. Every time. No matter what the brand proper training and safety procedures need to be followed with firearms. 

 

Darwin will intervene otherwise

Yup and even when I 100% know it's clear I still point it somewhere safe when I disengage the trigger.

That was one of the things that turned me off on glocks. Love my Sig P320! 

"Accidental shooting" or ND, I'm still pretty sure that no one likes getting shot.

Couldn't agree more.

I stick my pinky into the chamber every time even though I can clearly see its empty.

Goats, sheep, flightless waterfowl. They all can breathe easier. In his case, the answer to Mae West's famous question; "It was a pistol".

("Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?")

"Officer, it was a 3 inch barrel. The pistol? oh that was 5".

  Shot himself in the Hand ? More like he was fast drawing & pulled the Trigger & his support hand got in front of the Barrel instead of sliding in from behind & underneath .

  I shot at a Deer with my 44 mag. Dan Wesson & my support hand ( with Glove ) wrapped around the Cylinder instead , at the Barrel gap ( too far forward ) instead of around my grip hand & the blast went right through my glove . Powder Burns on my hand & man did that smart , lucky I had gloves on & totally missed the Deer I jumped .

I usually just use a finger, but hey...whatever floats your boat.

Appendix carry didn't work for this guy.

I do carry appendix with my revolver though.
