WARNING: It could happen to YOU!
I've been handling guns since my first Hunters Safety Course in 1988. 20 years ago. I've owned .22 rifles, a lovely Winchester 30-30 and recently my Glock 22 (.40) my KelTec P32 and my Mossberg 500a.
In the past 20 years I've never had a Negligent Discharge. Ever. Until Tonight.
This is incredibly embarrassing to admit. But I feel I need to warn everyone... it doesn't matter how much experience you have, a N.D. could happen to you!
No one was hurt, aside from the bruising my own ego took, a destroyed Network Switch, Cell phone and a hole in my desk and wall.
They say that the two loudest sounds are a "Click" that should have gone "Bang"; and a "Bang" that should have gone "Click." - Never have truer words been spoken.
So I leave you with pictures of the aftermath, and I implore you: Please, PLEASE be vigilant about checking the chamber and magazine of your firearms before you handle them!

I'm glad no one got hurt. Thanks for posting, I know it's tough on the ego but it'll make people think a little more. And thats a good thing.

There are those who never had an AD.........
And those who will.
WATCH THAT MUZZLE!
I'd rather shoot with you than an unknown.......you now have awareness.

Happy your all right.
A bruised ego and a bruised wall is a tiny price to pay.
Someone was watching over you!
A tough lesson learned.
Happy your all right!
Thanks for sharing and making us think to be even more careful.

Re: WARNING: It could happen to YOU!
you're much better a person for sharing. It takes a real man to admit their mistakes. +1 for honesty
The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose.

(1) Glad no one was hurt! Ego bruising notwithstanding, of course...
(2) Good advice - to quote a good friend: "We play with dangerous toys - be safe, be aware, and go home with only the holes in you that God gave you..."
(3) I have one of the photos of the Netgear carnage posted in my cubicle. I have SO wanted to do that to that sorry piece of !_%#@# that is supposed to be a router.
Learn from it and take it to heart.

Re: WARNING: It could happen to YOU!
you know its happened to me back when i was young
ever since then i treat every gun as if it was loaded! and i have OCD when it comes to checking for a clear chamber
welcome to the club! im sure you have a new found respect for your weapons now
im glad your safe! other people who had a AD haven't been so lucky
people get comfortable with weapons sometimes and do stupid things.Last edited by fultonCoShooter; December 21st, 2007 at 01:28 AM.
