Not sure where to put this, here or in the jokes section....

There are some cracker one liners that I would have never used in the making of this video confession.
For eg experiencing a negligent discharge, sounds like something a 14 year old boy does at night time.
also another cracker was "when his training kicked in and he called his parents" - no comment!

The video is serious in its nature but hey......as he says "things just tend to happen"

Thanks for posting this, Sledge. I don't think it belongs in the joke section, but in some ways I can see the humor (gallows) in it though. I really think it's more of a warning for us. I know when I saw him shoot himself, I could not help but wince and think "For the grace of God, go I."

I know I will be taking a look at my draw this week during dry fire practice....

You do have to admit  that the the line "I didn't post this to be ridiculed" has to be the biggest waste of breath in internet history . This is particularly true if you wait for the vid to finish and look at his other links. My fav is him throwing his Cold Steel Sambuko spear at a ten yard target and talking about how he wants to go big game hunting with it. Still, it was brave and honest to post the vid and he deserves props for that.  Nevertheless let me say you don't "suffer a negligent discharge". You just screw up and shoot yourself. It reminds of Chris Rock on the difference between Tupac and MLK
: "I'm watching the news … Tupac Shakur was assassinated, Biggie Smalls assassinated, struck down by assassin's bullets … no, they wasn't. Martin Luther King was assassinated, Malcolm X was assassinated, John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Them two niggas got shot! Shit, I love Tupac, I love Biggie, but school will be open on their birthday."
 And Tex, you didn't "suffer" anything, you F'ed up and shot yourself. Thanks for the post its a good reminder to be careful.

atleast he maned up about it and took blame for it...

well kind of.

Refreshing to see someone who isn't looking to sue somebody for their own mistake.

Noting that he had practiced many times with the holster/glock combination, much of it dry fire, no doubt.

But he switched to his Kimber and went right to live fire drill.

Therein lies his mistake and the lesson.

As he says, he was very lucky.  That could easily have destroyed his knee.

"My training took over and I called my mommy."  OMG, LOL!!!  I about pee'd myself!!!

 

She clearly "trained" him well!  


If your gonna shoot yourself with a .45...  You don't get any luckier than him.  So long as he doesn't stick his finger in the hole and get it infected or something smart like that.    He coulda hit his femoral artery and even momma wouldn't have made it there on time to do him any good.

From the "edjucational" point of view.  It woulda been more interesting if he'd been using a good quality hollow point.    Hint, hint, any takers?  

I poke fun, and certainly haven't ever shot myself, but have had an accidental discharge happen with a rifle before.  Nobody injured thankfully!  

Handle snakes enough, and sooner or later, one might "bite".  Just be sure to learn from it if it does. 

And hope mom picks up the phone!

I've never seen any of this guy's videos, but he sort of comes across as a mall ninja. Got to agree with TAB on this one. At least he accepted the blame himself. Of course that was after he called mommy.

Lucky he wasn't doing his "Crossdraw carry."
