Man cleaning gun accidentally shoots himself, buddy in Spring Hill (FL)

[tombogan03884]

"SPRING HILL — A man cleaning his pistol Monday night accidentally fired a round that hit his own hand and then struck his friend in the foot."

In real life and IDPA: Shoot throughs count!

You are just such a sentimentalist RC.  

Don't forget the old " I know it's empty, I checked the chamber first, even before I took out the Mag."

Remember the story about the Irish cop in Boston who witnessed a priest rear-end another driver?  He walked up to the priest and said in his fine Irish brogue, "An' just how fast was he backin' up when he hit ya, Father?"

Things are not always as they seem.  But, sometimes they are exactly as they seem.  Point is, we'll never know.  Maybe it's just Darwin, messing with us.

My aunt was at my house once while I was cleaning my Ruger P90. She said "Be careful cleaning that thing. It's not loaded is it? You always hear about people who shoot themselves when cleaning their guns."

Picked up the barrel and said "It's not loaded, and it's in five pieces. It couldn't fire if I wanted it to."


No she's not anti-gun, but she's also not familiar with them.

Funny thing is on all springfield xd's you have to pull the slide to the rear to disassemble.  Pretty failsafe.. Dumbass
