I was accidentally negligent. Thanks to Rule 2, the toaster is fine. Not so much the drywall though.
My bad.
Don't try this at home.
I've had three actually. The one with the toaster was the most memorable.
The first was in around 1971, with an el-cheapo .22 revolver that misfired, and then I did something, not exactly sure what. It fired. Powder burns on my fingers from that one.
Second was the 30-30 in the kitchen in around 1976. "Forgot" it was loaded.
Most specatcular because of the specators present.
Fortunately no tragedy, but MAN, that is embarrassing.
Third was in around 1995, a Jennings .22 pistol that slam-fired when I was "testing" it to see if it would feed rounds from the mag. Hole in the panelling. No wonder it only cost $40 at the gun show. It eventually had a minor kaboom, destroying the extractor. So, I sold it to the DC Police Dept. for $100.
A fourth, that I don't really think counts, was a FAL slam-fire when I was chambering a round on the range while the gun was pointed in the direction of the targets. I only put that one in the category of a "possible" ND because I already knew better than to feed a single round into the chamber of a FAL, and just let the bolt slam on it.
I hope I'm done with those sorts of boo-boo's.
