Last night about 11:30 my dog was barking, so I picked up a flashlight and pistol and walked out to see what he was barking at. Now I live in a suburb, and its not unusual for my dog to bark, he can come in or out through a dog door. So when he continues to bark, I go check it out. So I sneak out my back door, flashlight in one hand and Glock in the other, about 5 steps out my eyes still not adjusted for the dark, I stepped right into a green plastic lawn chair that was laying upside down. Apparently my leg got tangled up on the arm hole, one chair leg got into my inner thigh just below my crotch, and anothe leg hung up under my left armpit. I tumbled and ended up twisted up in the lawn chair, gun pointed at my kitchen window after hitting the ground pretty hard. Thank God I practice trigger finger discipline, because when I was on the way down I don't have any idea which direction the gun pointed. I have no doubt that if my finger had been in the trigger guard, the gun would have discharged. My leg and arm are bruised pretty bad, and I am sore today. I still don't know what the dog was barking at, if it was a bad guy he got a good laugh and went on his way.
So everyone, keep your finger out of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot. Oh, and turn on a light or use the flashlight thats in your hand.
