So I got a call to a hospital to take a report from a guy who AD'd in his house and blew off half his hand. He was cleaning his Glock 22 when he forgot to take the round out of the chamber. When he pulled the trigger he sent a .40 Winchester Ranger into his left palm next to his thumb and exiting the side of his hand below his pinky. The exit wound was a little bigger than a quarter.
I went to his house to check and see if his neighbors were alright.....to see if the round had exited the house. I was able to follow the massive blood trail from the car port back to the master bedroom. He was sitting on his bed when he AD'd. The round went through his mattress and embedded itself into a brick wall. around the entry hole in the mattress was a lot of blood, burned powder, and multiple little pieces of flesh and bone.
Overall it could have been a lot worse and hopefully he will not lose a whole lot of function in his hand.
I just wanted to share this story to remind everyone during the busy season to always keep your mind on what your doing when handling firearms. Safe shooting.
