[QUOTE="gillman7, post: 1155642, member: 2784"] Never had one, but could see how a moment of carelessness could happen if you get complacent. Been around two negligent discharges, one of them almost cost me my job. First one was a member of my family that was in his room with his buddy. He was a Armored Car guard, and had taken off his XD, and showing it to his friend. He had unloaded it, cleared it, and then with the slide back, loaded the mag with the heel of his hand hard enough it engaged the slide. To this day he does not know how it happened, but I am sure he must have had his finger in the trigger guard when the slide went forward, because it went off, shooting through two walls and killing my scanner on my desk. I took it out and tried to recreate it, to see if it was a gun issue, but it didn't. I am sure he had his finger in the trigger guard. Second one was a company pheasant hunt. Went out for the morning hunt, came in for lunch, and several of the guys had several beers. They were not the most gun savvy before lunch, and as they were loading up in the van, I told them I was not going out in the field with them, including my boss, with loaded guns after they had been drinking. Got lots of grief, called some colorful names, accused of not being a team player, etc. I stayed at the lodge, and as they drove down the driveway, there was a speedbump. They must have been going fast enough to bump the van around, because as they went over it, I heard a shot, and saw something on the top of the van. They stopped immediately, got out, unloaded all the guns, and went on their way. They never said another word to me all the way home...... [/QUOTE]
