"How did that happen?"

God help me I know it's not funny but I am laughing my ass off!! :rotflmao: On a much more serious note I am really glad he is okay.

When I read the subject, I thought you had finally gotten back to the range.:sorry4:

I am glad that it was not you. You would never live it down.

No kidding ... you weren't here for the thread when I loaded .40 ammo into a .45 1911 ... :ooh2: :rotflmao:

That's what happens when you take a BUNCH of guns and a BUNCH of ammo all in the same bag to the range. To make matters worse there were a couple of guys out on the range who knew me and were OSArs ... so there was no denying it ... :crying:

Just a few? I wish all of you could see or have seen what I have in past years. One that stands out is not as wild but a 50 year old with his FIRST AR15 asked me what the difference was between centerfire and rimfire cartridges! Ask me why I drink, and drink a lot!

man come on, seriously a new guy gets into guns and asks you a question and now he is a knucklehead, i guess you are the only guy that knows everything about everything, i am sure you have never asked an "ignorant" question before in your life.... so now if you are over 30 and don't know the ins and outs of guns you can't get into it and ask questions......

No I do not know nor pretend to know all or anything, but I really think he should have known, but then, oh well, I knew I should not have posted here that one situation but you have NO idea what I have seen happen over the years. And I never call anyone a knucklehead but someone else did. Thank you.

He manned up and took responsibility for his mistake.Keep that booger hook off the bang switch until you're ready to fire.I don't think it can be said too many times.I also like the way he kept emphasizing it was a NEGLIGENT discharge.He gets it.

It is kinda funny for a few seconds.

He did man up. He also figured out what he did wrong. He also shared his experience. In my book that is doing the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason. It also goes to the notion that switching guns and switching holsters along with where one carries and then draws does require a lot of practice.

Yup - ain't no "accidental discharges" or ADs - you can always figure out what went wrong. AD should be replaced with ND.

I know a LEO that shot himself in his right bew-tok with his newly issued 9mm after years of using an issue wheel gun; got the bullet back and had it mounted in clear plastic and kept it on his desk at work. Another shot a table while clearing his semi in preparation for defensive training in a classroom full of fellow students; new to work, new to guns, under pressure from home while TDY for more training. Then there is the one that put a round through a non-load bearing wall and put a small puncture wound and large bruise in a contract employee; experienced LEO clearing his weapon to demonstrate a problem to the unit armorer.

It is kinda funny for a few seconds.

Just my :twocents:
