Tip: If you decide to throw a cardboard box into your fireplace, make sure you take out ALL of the loose rounds.

So, we can leave tight rounds in the box?

I can't remember all the details but my friend's dad had purchased a new 1911 and wanted to show it off.
My friend had just woken up, looked at it, set it down and went off to the bathroom.
In between leaving and coming back, his dad thought he was done looking at it and reloaded it, cocked and locked, and back into the gun case.
My friend went right to the gun case, still groggy and attempted to drop the hammer while he was checking it out for the second time.
His thumb slipped off the hammer and bam. Through a wall and embedded into a window sill in the next room. He was sitting next to his grandma at the time. Darn near gave her a heart attack.
He told me that until that point, 99.9 percent of the time he had always safety checked a gun whenever he picked it up. The one time he doesn't he gets a negligent discharge.
He owned up to it though. Didn't try to blame it on being sleepy. He was just being careless and got lucky no one was hurt. He took a short break from firearms for a while, heh.

I sold a 9mm to a guy I knew from the Atterbury range, this was about 10 years ago. Had been to the range twice at the same time I was there, he was interested in the gun, sold it to him. We traded calls a couple times after that talking about going shooting again but never got around to it and I lost touch with him. He lived in Greenwood and I lived on the north side.

5 years ago, the cops knock on my door. They asked if I was the owner of a certain 9mm that was registered to me. I told them the story (but had forgotten the guys last name).

They tell me he was living in an apt in greenwood and had the gun. Apparently he was cleaning it and it went off. A round went through the wall into his neighbors closet. She obviously freaked out and called the police.

The police left and I laughed.

Registered to you?? Huh?

Handguns I believe used to be registered in IN, not sure how long ago they did away with it. Or they could have been going off the 4473.

Nooo, but there is a bullet embedded in my workbench top.

Unfortunately, I have done it once. I was practice drawling with my Beretta 9mm. Good thing I was in a brick home. The round didn't penetrate and the only thing that needed repair was the drywall.

Takes one to know one

Great response Caleb....did it take you awhile to think of it?

Seriously though, This is a 13 page thread about retards shooting through their house. People on this forum need to practice safely handling their firearms more and post on here less.

 

[PurdueBoilermaker]

No, not even once.

 

[countrylivn01]

Nope, not personally but I have an uncle that has done it twice.

I don't agree. A ND comes from some form of negligence. An AD is just an ND that someone won't step up to responsibility for. If you keep your guns in good working condition, maintain them well, shoot quality ammunition and follow the safety rules, you will not have a ND. Each ND has a failure in it somewhere. You may call it an accident but that's just whitewashed negligence.

I had a new firearm slam fire on me after shooting 100 or so rounds at the range.
I was obeying all the rules, finger off the trigger, gun pointed down range, racked the slide and BANG.
I tried to get the firearm in question to repeat the slam fire but couldn't.
I tore it down completely and inspected it for faulty parts and couldn't find any.
I sent the firearm in and the manufacturer inspected it and said they couldn't find anything wrong with the firearm.
I don't consider this a ND or an AD I just consider it what it was, a slam fire.
