I took a shotgun to the knee last night...

[DRM]

I was out in the shop cleaning last night. About 2 hours in, I was over by the compressor and was trying to organize one of the work tables when I must have bumped up against the wall where the shotgun was hanging.

The next thing I know, I see it fall and then BAM - right into the inside of my right knee.

So is a non-op. short-barrel shotgun falling off the wall of my shop, bouncing off the air compressor, then ramming barrel first into my knee considered an accidental discharge?

I almost cried

So did you shoot yourself or did just the barrell hit you? Post pics.

No weapons were actually discharged in the harming of this poster's knee.

Only a half-a-golfball sized knot and a tender knee is there to remind me that things up high tend to fall... down...

Oh, and I was just informed by another friend I can no longer use the saying "guns don't hurt people - people hurt people".

[Guest Chandler]

no doubt i would have needed new underwear after that as well.

You should try running a de-capping pin through your fingernail sometime.

Looks like gravity screwed you again!

Nope, the gun didn't hurt you, the clumsy person hurt you.

Ummm.... no, I think I'll pass - thanks!

Are you questioning the motives of my shotgun? I saw him giving me the evil eye earlier in the evening, and I think I heard him complaining to the compressor about the lack of heat in the shop this winter. I think he's got it out for me...

looks like you had to re-learn what I know and am reminded of every day...gravity is a law that cannot be repealed.

I'm not laughing AT you..I'm laughing WITH you.
