First off, if you can't envision a scenario where 6 full grown men are armed and enjoying a holiday together I can only assume you are trolling. Go start your own thread about your superiority.
Any details I leave out please mention as most of you understand my intent and realize that this isn't script, this is real life.
We live in rural Indiana, and my family is a patchwork but we are a family, with commitment and love and we are not the people that get taken from. I have 4 sons no daughters and we are all 2nd ammendment oriented. Yes we own guns, we carry guns, and we all believe the words that the American constitution speaks of.
Now to address the alcohol/drug aspect. There was absolutely no alcohol or drugs involved period. No ambiguity Involved and if you dont think this is true start your own thread.
So you see the basic background, firearms are a part of our history and everyone in the family has more experience around guns than 20 city-dwellers combined.
Lol I'm gonna pause to cool my jets a bit and go sling some rounds. Some of my gun toting redneck family just showed up and their Christmas gift to me was 300 rounds of 20 guage to feed my favorite tool. Brb.
Ok, back to business...
It's xmas eve day, approximately 12:30 PM, and 2 of my sons and I had just finished a 500 rnd session in the range on our property. This day was our primary xmas celebration and we were in the process of completing a kick butt meal for the family present. Keep in mind no children are on the property. .I'm standing in the master bedroom doorway facing the living room couch with another couch to my left. My oldest son is to my left, my youngest son to my further left and back and my AD son directly in front of me seated. Wife behind me, BIL further back and left in the dining room.
Gun is m&p shield 2.0, green laser in an owb friction fit holster on the waist of again what I said earlier is the smartest guy in the room, and it doesn't matter what room you're in.
I initiate the the sequence by commenting about how unsafe it is to have a pistol that requires depression of the trigger for tear down and cleaning.
At this point my son comments on how his pistol is administratively the same as he removes it from his holster, and moves the pistol (muzzle discipline) to his left. At this point discharge occurred with a 147 gr. Jhp passing through his upper left thigh, entry point being almost too dead center middle of thigh and exiting about 2-1/2"from the knee cap.
What I saw and what my oldest son saw was his sweatshirt snagging the trigger as he moved the pistol to his left.
What he says is that he simply dragged his finger across the trigger during the leftward motion. Nobody else in the room had actuall eyes on the moment and point. Without video replay we will never truly know, but that's the mechanics of the incident as I saw it.
At this point my oldest son cleared and secured the pistol as I initiated the 911, and my ad son sat back down(yes, he stood up immediately) and started to remove his Jean's. Clean towels, pressure and some panic were immediate but calm was what prevailed and within 10 minutes EMS showed up.
We live in a fairly remote and isolated area between 2 urban cesspools and our driveway is over 1/2 a mile long. As a measure of expediance I sent one of the boys to the end of the drive to guide the emergency services. And I will add that our community hospital (thank you BMH) and county sheriff's dept. are 2nd to none. The professionalism I witnessed that day gives me great comfort .
FWIW the round passed through his thigh, through a couch cushion and fell to the floor directly in front of the living room table. It did not expand, but was slightly deformed and had no blood or tissue evident.
We were so very blessed that day.
