Guy Shoots Himself In The Hand At Beech Grove Range Tonight???

[partyboy6686]

Was just browsing on facebook and my old boss said he was at Beech Grove tonight using the range and a guy shot himself in the hand inside the range. Anybody else hear about this? Obviously the guy didn't know the 4 rules.

Maybe he just wanted a new piercing.

can you say OUCH, THAT F'n HURT?

 

[Leadkrm]

Yea. I was 4 lanes down from him. Bled a lot but was ok when the ambulance got there

 

[MCgrease08]

Any clue what he was shooting? (Other than himself). Handgun I presume.

 

[shanksinator]

Man, I misread "head" for "hand" in the subject line...

 

[jagee]

How does that even happen?!?

 

[Trigger Time]

How does that even happen?!?

By being unsafe. Probably was unloading the weapon an just had to stick his finger on the trigger and press it while the other hand covered the muzzle. Or trying to cover the slide with his hand and ejecting the round while gripping the extractor and causing the round to discharge? I try to go when no one else is there. Sooo many stupid gun owners who think they don't need training and just go shoot without knowing squat about their gun

sucks...more reason to have some sort of med kit with you...

 

[Dead Duck]

Well -

It is called a "Hand" Gun.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. :P

 

[Leadkrm]

He was shooting a .22. He was an older guy. There shooting with two younger guys. I know at least one was his son. His boy put up a rifle after it happened but I wasn't sure if the guy was shooting a .22 hand gun or rifle

Hope he's OK...

Or trying to cover the slide with his hand and ejecting the round while gripping the extractor and causing the round to discharge?

Could you explain this a little further? How is gripping the extractor going to fire a round?

 

[Mackey]

I wonder what the one hand has against the other. It must be a psychological thing. Probably the one hand is jealous of the other because the one doesn't have to wipe or something. I'm sure his hand deserved it.

agreed.

Maybe some powder burns, but blood? Unless its a REALLY short barrel and he took some of the meat off the outside of his palm below the pinky...

 

[Hookeye]

Does it really require training to understand that body parts over the muzzle is a bad idea?

It's a friggin' gun.

 

[farmer21]

sounds like he was lucky it was just his hand

 

[grunt soldier]

couldn't have been to bad since he didn't take the ambulance ride to the hospital. he showed up there like a hour later or so.

Hope he's OK...

Yes he probably ignored the 4 rules and did something stupid.Still I hope he's okay.
