[QUOTE="RedRiverAmmo, post: 1156132, member: 11704"] A few I know of... My buddies dad was doing somethibg w/ his 3006. He was in his living room and fired it in to the concrete. Fllor spraying concrete chips into the legs of his young son. Guys from my high school see a coyote running across a field and one trys to jump out and take a shot at it, but not before sending a 3030 round into the floor. if I recall correctly, they had to drive home in reverse. Friends brother was crossing a fense w/ a loaded 12 singleshot. He dropped it and it fired. Could have easily taken one our feet off. And finally mine. I have a hair trigger 22 revolver that has a long heavy DA pull, but single action is crazy light. So thankfully I have a rule that I don't cock it until I am aimed and ready to shot. Well one day I aimed at my target and decided to readjust my grip. I shot before I was ready and missed the target by about three feet. The other close call was not a discharge, but it was close. I was just a kid and was deer hunting during black powder season. It was really cold for that time of year. I had big gloves on. I saw some deer moving through so I cocked(prematurely obviously) the gun. I was sitting in an old concrete water tank. After I cocked it I started to move it into firing position from where it was laying across my lap. Stupid! Either I hung it on my clothes or pulled the trigger with one of my gloved fingers. The hammer dropped and thank God my glove was between the hammer and cap. The barrel was about 3 inches from the concrete wall I was sitting next to. Those deer passed and never knew I was there before I was in any condition to hold the gun steady. [/QUOTE]
