Had my first ND last year at the age of 56. I fired a round into the ground 3-4 feet in front of me. I purposely pointed the gun in a safe direction but not in a place or time where I should have pulled the trigger on what I thought was a empty gun.
 
There are those who have (which includes me) and those who willl. If the gun is at least pointed in a safe direction then it's just a huge embarassment and lesson in humility. Never say never.

Case in point. A Gunsite student , according to a press report, shot and killed his friend in a Prescott motel room the other day while doing his assigned "homework" of presentations. The problem was that 1: the weapon was in fact loaded; and 2. he pointed it at his friend.

I guarantee you that he was emphatically told the four basic safety rules at the beginning of the class.

Dammit, they are not toys.
