[QUOTE="Redmule454, post: 1169094, member: 7396"] Let's see, when I was 14 or so I was hunting with some friends and was telling a story about another hunt and pulled the trigger. I shot a .22 slug between my boots. :blush: I worked with a guy who was out shooting with a friend one day. They had several rifles on a truck tailgate. He picked up his friends Ruger stainless No. 1 in 25-06. He put one of his .308s in it and pulled the trigger. The .308 bullet was swaged down to .25 cal and went down the barrel. The fore arm of the rifle was split and the action was stretched ruining it. He bought the guy a new rifle. :cry11: And another time the same guy left his ramrod in the muzzle of the .54 Hawken. When he pulled the trigger it knocked him flat on his back. He got up and looked around trying to figure out what happened. The rifle was okay, his shoulder hurt like hell. Then they discovered the missing ramrod, which they never found in the pasture behind the target. His buddy standing near him heard a strange sound when the rifle fired, that ramrod made a "zing" as it went down range. He asked me several times to go shooting with him. I was always busy doing something. The guy was just too careless for me.:hellno: I also know a guy who at age 13 tried to take his loaded .38 spl from a careless friend. (Why a 13 year old was carrying a pistol I don't know). The pistol went off and the slug went up the side of his head causing permanent brain damage. He functions quite well mentally but one side of his body is like that of a stroke victim. A close friend at age 16 wiped down an "unloaded" shotgun after a morning of duck hunting. He was setting on the back porch with the gun butt on the floor and the barrel near his head pointing at the ceiling. The pump was slid up and down while removing the moisture which loaded a round in the chamber. His left index finger was in the barrel spinning the gun around when his other wiped the trigger. He lost half his left index finger and got a nice scar in his ear lobe from pieces of the barrel that blew at the muzzle. Last one. A high school buddy's uncle spent most of his life in a nursing home after a hunting partner dropped a loaded .30-06 in the back of the station wagon he was in, behind the wheel. The bullet went from the back of the wagon thru 2 seats and into his back, came out his stomach. It paralized him from the waist down and destroyed most of his digestive system. :nolike: The same friends step-son shot the other step-son thru his calf with a .40 Glock while showing it off to some girls. Duh? I bet they were inpressed! Not!:doh: Be careful out there! [/QUOTE]
