i was about 19. i had been around guns since i was 6 years old. i was dancing with this pretty blond girl. she kept gettting closer and closer holding me tighter and tighter ......... ooops wrong kind of accidental discharge!
I got one for you. In April 2005 I was preparing to deploy to Iraq, well the morning I was suppose to leave I got up early had a cup of coffee and was reading the paper enjoying the last free morning. The wife has a XD 9mm and asked me to show her how to disasseble it so she could clean it if she went to the range while I was gone, she brought it from the bedroom and I proceeded to disassemble said weapon assuming she dropped magazine and cleared weapon before giving me the pistol like a dumbass I didnt even check and began by locking slide to rear and flipping up slide release lever, as we all know you have to pull trigger to to get the slide to come off, well it caught the top round and BOOM it went. Story dosent end there folks, when I pulled the slide off, the meaty part of my palm was over the muzzle and a 147gr winchester ranger sxt went right through my hand almost taking of my finger, but wait the plot thickens the bullet exits my hand and hits my wife in the knee. a couple surgeries for the wife and a few stitches for myself and all is good now. It doesnt matter how many safties and loaded chamber indicators there are on a firearm if you are complacent like my wife and I were a Negligent discharge will happen. Hope everyone takes a little from this story
. Had one who was cleaning a weapon and the AD resulted in his child being shot. .
For the life of me I have never understood the "I was cleaning my gun and it went off theory"
My ex worked where a cell of lesbians worked as well, and one of them got into a jelous rage and shot the other in the chest with a .22. all said and done, no charges filed, with "cleaning the gun and it just went off".
The shooter, and the victim made up after a hospital stay and are still together. I've cleaned guns hundreds of times, and have never yet had an ad while doing it and don't see how it could happen??? First order of business.....clear the chamber????
