Ever since then I only load 7 rounds per mag for that gun, regardless of the mag capacity.

I was almost killed by someone else's in 1989 that broke all four rules as well as unfamiliarity with the gun and no training. It was by sheer dumb luck I wasn't hit.Glypto Dropemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567172318032611333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-50297311134464379892022-10-31T15:21:25.723-06:002022-10-31T15:21:25.723-06:00I did have a firearm discharge once, while small g...I did have a firearm discharge once, while small game hunting, when a safety broke. I was holding the butt on my thigh, and pointing the barrel up at the sky, while speaking with my friend. I heard a bang, and a slam into my side. I at first thought that my friend had shot me.<br />Then, I quickly figured out that my own gun had gone off. An old bolt action shotgun, I was so grateful that I had been using caution and proper gun safety and not pointing my gun in an unsafe direction. <br />This cop did not seem to use usual and ordinary caution, when cleaning his weapon, because it is stressed to every single gun owner, to always ensure that your gun is not loaded, before cleaning. I mean, really stressed, to the point of almost absurdity. Apparently not so absurd, and not stressed enough, in this cops case, and now, this man has to live with the knowledge that he killed someone with his own mistake. It is a sad thing, for both him and the man's family. pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01109289010634715497noreply@blogger.com
