Always wanted to see a negligent discharge

[loose noose]

I cringed every time he displayed the Model 37 with his finger in the trigger guard, what an idiot

If you search for accidental discharge (not many call it negligent) on youtube you'll see plenty of examples.

I do 'like' the one where a guy is reviewing a handgun and pops a round off into his desk and stuff goes flying, goes to show even when you're trying to be knowledgeable and show off your 'expertise' you still have to follow the rules or in an instant someone can die.

I think its real. I saw a shell drop in the carrier. And a flash on the ceiling

You know it was was going south when he said "Im being stupid today"

To keep it HR, keep your finger off the trigger.

My wife did the exact same thing that guy did. Except it was a Mossberg 500 20 gauge. And it was bird shot. And the end of the barrel was about 2 feet from my face. And the shot went directly across me missing me by just a foot or so(we were both sitting on a couch. She was sitting to the right of me. The freezer was to my left. And she shot the freezer. And our dog was standing under the freezer. That was about 10 years ago. To this day it sends chills down my spine just thinking about it.

I've had one ND happen. It was a newly purchased used pistol I had gotten at a gun show. I took it to the range to see how it shot and to check it out. It was equipped with a hammer block safety, in other words if the hammer is in the full cockid position and the safety is taken from OFF to ON safe the mechanism is to block the hammer from striking the firing pin. Didn't work, pistol went off, really shocked me but I had the pistol pointed down range so no harm done.

Remember folks, always be aware of where your firearm is pointed!

FYI, if you look at about any Youtube video, someone claims it's fake. There are way too many people online who think everything is fake, no matter how real it is.

Edit: If you watch, you can see the blast from the receiver area. Looks real enough to me.

So its not possible that it was a blank round?

Hey this is a great reminder though - when in a location that allows you to do so safely, ensure your firearms are operating properly! Function test your safety in a controlled manner.

He said it was birdshot. @2:12

Here's his other video. http://www.youtube.com/embed/ufdlOj1SbVo?html5=1&fs=1

At IDPA.
Shooter had her 1911 at "low ready" -- BOOM!
Too low and not exactly ready.
Hole in the ground 4 inches beyond her right foot.

It was a sobering reminder for all present.

I for the life of me can't understand why the guy would post this on youtube. Maybe IQ tests need to be administered with the NICS check.

 

[Arkansas Paul]

I've seen one. I was 18 years old and dumber than a sack of rocks. It was in my front pants pocket at the time. I don't care to ever see another.

 

[Kingcreek]

Years ago had a model 37 discharge while hunting in freezing rain and sleet. Trigger stuck back on first shot and fired when racked the second shell in. Safety rules were in place and muzzle was in a safe direction.
The guy in the video is obviously an idiot. I hope he stays away from firearms and takes up kite flying instead.

 

[rcmodel]

Then when I racked the slide to load one in the tube frmo a fresh mag "pow" a round cooked off.

I do not believe you can get a .45 ACP hot enough to cause a cook-off.

If you could, it would be so hot you could not possibly hold it in your hand or touch the slide without an oven mitt.

Something else happened when you loaded it, and it wasn't a cook-off.

[herkyguy]

the poster comes off a bit dense.

don't reference trench warfare and then admit you don't know what war it's from.

as far as the ND, i'd say something witty, but everyone is susceptible to it.

 

[GBExpat]

I just watched the video.

I found his patter (blather, actually) to be mildly entertaining.

Even without the ND he comes across as being a complete Idiot.

 

[Potatohead]

I was wondering if they just stuck the casing in the hole the round made for show.

thats what i was hoping

edit: shoulda read the post closer. oops

still cant beat the DEA agent accidentally shooting himself in the kids' classroom

This weekend a kid was found at the local public gun range dead, with a bullet hole in his head. Looks like either a suicide or an ND, but I can't see someone going to the range to commit suicide.
Glad I wasn't there to see it. Its a small community and the town is in mourning right now, he was a well liked young man.

Actually happens quite a bit. A lot of ranges won't rent to you if you're alone and don't have a ccw or equivalent.

And hopefully no one will try...

I've been around three at matches.
An A-class shooter accidentally popped off a carbine round on the "unload and show clear" command.

A (now) Master-class shooter bumped his 1911 single stack pistol on a table top when picking it up off a shelf underneath and flipping the safety off as it hit the table and went bang.

Both guns were pointed in a safe direction downrange. Both shooters were DQ'd for the match.

Even very experienced and skilled shooters CAN screw up. The back-up safety rules saved a risk to life.

A fairly new shooter with a push-button release holster, shot himself in the thigh on the draw. (OWEE) The bullet travelled several inches inside the thigh and came to rest just above the right knee. His main reaction was embarrassment. He was very 'lucky'.

The ONLY one I have EVER had was over 30+ years ago,
Messing around with my 10/22 Ruger, had just put on a new scope and was looking thru it in my bedroom at the bathroom medicine-cabinet mirror, there must have been 1-round left in the chamber when I finished shooting earlier that weekend that failed to eject (Always visually inspect the chamber)
It went thru the medicine cabinet, and out thru the side of the house, and lodged into the siding of the neighbors house about 40-feet away.
I can still go to that neighbors house today, and see where they caulked- the hole shut and painted over it
That time made everything about guns not so "funny" and I have never taken the matter lightly ...

I do however recall seeing a video on Tv about some guy named "Big Bob" or something like that demonstrating his quick-draw technique on video and shootin himself right in the thigh,,, he hopped-around cussing "I just BL:EEP shot my self !!"

Just like that guy on the video, its only funny when nobody gets hurt, or when stupid people hurt themselves and are able to recover, and teach others how NOT to do it !

We had two at the same range in a short time span in Austin. One lady did it on the firing line. Another guy went out to his truck and did it.

 

[Hanzo581]

Only had one, though I am not sure if you would call it negligent. Shooting a rimfire match and a buddy offers for me to use his rifle. He hands me it and when it is my turn as soon as I touch the trigger the gun goes off, pointed down range but not at all when I wanted to fire.

It was the lightest trigger I've ever felt, I am assuming it was done past any safety thresholds.
