How does this happen?

Make sure the gun is CLEAR, then strip it. Has this sort of event happened to anyone here before?

[Ted S.]

Bullet magically materializes in the chamber and the cocks itself while cleaning. Happens quite often and is why cleaning is one of the most dangerous aspects of owning a weapon.

"I was cleaning my gun and it went off!"

 

I hear this BS, lamesass excuse at least 2-3 times each and every year...Last month it was a through & through wound to the thigh. :shake:

 

I've seen a beautiful .45 caliber hole through a left hand, fingers shot completely off, .40 caliber wounds through the calf or foot (usually on the dominate side...you know, like if you were drawing or holstering the handgun with your finger on the trigger) ...always with an "empty gun" "While I was cleaning it"...

Quite remarkable the amount of damage done by dumbasses with empty guns while cleaning them.

 

I guess we should all just stop cleaning our guns. Maybe restrict the sale of Hoppes? :ugh:

Maybe it's why a lot of folks buy Glocks.  I hear you never have to clean those things. :P

Well...that's my justification for owning and shooting Glocks! :pleased:

Being rich and famous don't make ya smart.

A Red Bank police officer managed it a long time. He ended up shooting a woman he lived with. I say woman because I can't remember what her relationship was to him.

I would think there would be more accidents from playing with the guns after forgetting they were loaded. I don't understand why it happens while cleaning. Maybe they just say they were cleaning as a cover to the real incident.

Yes, imho it's a cover story. After-all, that's what everyone seems to say...so it's repeated.

 

The vast majority of the patients I see and treat will admit that they were either drawing, holstering, or other wise pointing the muzzle at one of their body parts and inadvertently...or intentionally...pulled the trigger...BOOM!

 

I always discuss the 4 Rules of Gun Safety with them. Generally it's accepted in the spirit it was offered...generally... :cool:

:rofl:

Which is why I don't clean my guns.

[Caster]

This isn't tragic or even news worthy, just what a dumbass gets for being a dumbass.

[DWARREN123]

The 4 rules of safety!

Disregard at your own risk.

[teecro]

I cringed the first time I pulled the trigger on a dummy round that was chambered in an AR I was working on..... So yeah I shake my head when I hear the words "I didn't know it was loaded"

Performance enhancing steroid use my result it itchy trigger finger syndrome, Congressional testimony, brain farts, ...

[KorbenDallas]

I'm sorry but since it's Jose I find it kinda funny  :rofl:

[satalac]

I'm just picturing him trying to jam his middle finger into the barrel to clean it. He's not really known for his intelligence.

[glowdotGlock]

That's how I kill a coyote once I call it in. I get it in the crosshairs then start slowly cleaning my AR. Edited October 29, 2014 by glowdotGlock

How does this happen?

 

Stupidity, plain and simple.

I just look down the barrel before cleaning.

 

D'em shiny gold boolits is easy to see from the front end.

[Tncobra]

Hes a lousy shot.

[tnhawk]

Which is why I don't clean my guns.

I clean my guns frequently, but the first step for cleaning is to verify that the chamber is empty. :rofl:

[btq96r]

Shoot all the ammo you have and you don't have to worry about a negligent discharge when you're cleaning the gun. ;)

[jtmaze]

Didn't we have another thread on here where a LEO admitted that a gun cleaning accident could mean anything from suicide to ND. That one a guy shot himself in the face with a ak.

I liked Jose when he first arrived on the scene in the 80s, but quickly turned against him and his attitude.  I think he was one of the first active players to require a fee for his autograph!  No tear in my eye here! 

[Good_Steward]

Maybe restrict the sale of Hoppes? :ugh:

WHAT?!?!?!

What would I wear for cologne?!? It's irresistible to my wife......
