We’ve all seen an accidental scope cut on a brow from a big kicking rifle or a slide cut from shooting a semi auto with the thumb in the way, but has anyone seen or had any completely flukey gun related injuries that are out of the norm?
Tonight I was putting away the 10” barrel assembly from my Ruger Mark IV. It was up on a high shelf and as I turned I wasn’t paying attention to the orientation of the assembly. It ended up pointing muzzle-skyward and the bolt fell out and clobbered me wings-down right on the bony top of my bare left foot. Naturally it hit both a nerve and opened a small vein, so the dang thing is throbbing and is already turning purple all over. I am sure it’s gonna feel great tomorrow!
Stay safe.
