Bummer dude.

 

[drillsgt]

That's embarrasing, glad she wasn't hurt and he'll recover.

 

[Rocketscientist]

Dang that sucks. I bet both of them have blown eardrums too. Hope he's ok.

 

[StunnedMonkey]

Looks like his wife picked up the shell casing. That shows good etiquette. Bravo.

What the Sam Hill was he trying to do?

 

[littletommy]

Come on! Who HASN'T done a negligent elevator pop which resulted in injury?

I dunno what the Academies are teaching nowadays, but when I went the basic 'philosophy' was that shooting yourself in the stomach out of sheer stupidity is 'bad'.

What the Sam Hill was he trying to do?

My thoughts exactly! He was fidgeting with the thing like it was red hot!

 

[littletommy]

At least she went back and got the cake!

Hi, Kirk here. Remember when I say that you do not need to prove to yourself that your gun is real, because, you know, your gun is real.

Stop playing with guns. Stop looking for excuses to play with the gun--bathroom, show my girlfriend/wife, prove to myself that what I have is real, etc.

Leave it in the holster and stop touching it. Please.

He was set on fire with a ric. Get a sand barrel.

Every time we set ourselves on fire, the other side grows stronger. The person in the mirror is responsible for his gun safety.

WFT was he doing? If you must relocate your handgun, do so IN the holster. He is VERY lucky.

Hi, Kirk here.

[Kirk Freeman]

Playing with your gun to ensure that it is real?

Oh man I bet that hurt like crazy. It can happen easier that what most people will be willing to admit.

Everyone knows you fire a couple into the berm before you roll outside the wire. Just doing a function check. Nothing to see here. Only thing I can see he did wrong is not yell "test fire" first.
