"I just F'ng SHOT MYSELF!!" Warning Language

[Lone Wolf '49]

I found that the only thing amusing about the video.Maybe he's a paramedic by trade.He was talking about stopping the bleeding and bandaging the wounds.

No sir, I wonder what training he is speaking of? I know several EMSA, and so forth paramedics, throughout the state of Oklahoma and many are former military and know what they are doing. My point is, I think his training was well let us say lacking, but then again I am an ol' guy and don't know squat anymore.

I didn't really laugh at him shooting himself, I didn't find humor in it personally. I did start laughing however at his dialogue following the incident. "My training took over, I called my parents..."BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Why was this guy inches from the target trying to quick draw? I found it amusing he took great care to not throw the kimber, but more gentle set it on the ground afterwards. Poor guy...

Maybe because its not a great idea to throw a loaded gun

He said he was using same holster with a Glock earlier, then switched to the Kimber.

here's another brilliant piece of work he did..

Can't see a link here, but I found the video on youtube.

But, but, but, 1911's have 3 safeties on them, they are the safest handguns out there.
Sorry, no safeties on any of my handguns. Treat all handguns alike.

Practicing drawing from an up close and personal defensive situation I would imagine. You aren't always going to be able to draw when you assailant is 75 feet away.

What a F'n idiot... Anyone
that shoots themselves should never be allowed to own a firearm again... Next time their stupid action could cost someone else their life...

What if it's just a ND that doesn't injure anyone, is it ok if they still own firearms? Looked to me like this guys range safety held up even after he fawking shot himself.

 

[spamby]

Yea he shot himself. Could it be prevented, yes. Did he own up and try and bring this to everyone so they could learn from his mistake, yes. Good on him. Will I ridicule him, no. Learn from him, YES.

Now the second video of him with the 22 rifle. IDIOT.

Any ND means you have no business owning a firearm, much less carrying one...

I've watched his vids in the past. The guy is a total n00b. He covers everything from defensive pistol fighting and tactical maneuvers along with gun reviews, yet has never served in the military and is not LEO. He's taken maybe one tactical rifle class this year. I go to his channel once in a while for a laugh.

I knew a guy who shot himself in the leg like that with a 1911. The problem with some 1911 users is that some don't realize that they're not using proper trigger control due to the thumb safety. Their fingers will actually wrap around the trigger before the gun is at point of aim and use the thumb safety as the mechanism to "fire" since pressure is already applied to the trigger and they don't realize it. Usually the force is not enough to discharge a striker fired type gun like a Glock due to the heavier trigger and initial heavy trigger creep of those type of guns. Because of that, they never realize that they're doing it since they don't experience a negligent discharge with striker fired guns. It's not until they go back to a 1911 and inadvertently draw the firearm from the holster with the thumb safety already off. It results in a leg shot like in the video.

Anybody that handles firearms WILL have an ND at some point in their life. It comes with the territory. The question becomes, are you smart enough to learn from your mistake? I have known LEOs, military firearms instructors, etc, etc that will admit to having had an ND.
