The other day I was at my local indoor range where I'm a member. The folks in the stall next to me (man and his wife) and another man were shooting a semi auto handgun. I believe a 9mm or a 45. When it was the wife's turn to shoot , (it was very obvious it was her 1st time) her husband was standing directly behind her helping (?) her hold the handgun. I'm saying to myself that's not good. Well she pulled the trigger the slide just sliced his hand wide open, blood everywhere. Had to shut down the bay to clean up all the blood. Why do guys do just stupid things when they're trying to teach their wife how to shoot. Also it always seems that they start them off with the biggest handgun they own. I've seen it so many times and you just know that chances are she never going to come back. I always have a 22 in my range bag and when I offer it to the guy to let her try it and she shoots it I always get a positive reaction.
PS - On the way out of the range I heard the wife say " You're going to hospital PERIOD! Had to chuckle a little.
