When I received my handgun from gunbroker.com and used a local gun shop as the transfer, the person at the gun shop said that there was a cop in the state who should have known better who shot himself in the head while cleaning his Glock. On THR not long ago, it was posted about an athlete who shot himself while cleaning his firearm. Do people really look down the barrel of their firearms while they're cleaning, or how does this all work? My carry piece is a Springfield XD-9, and you have to pull the trigger to field strip it. Even if there was no rule saying don't point your gun at anything you don't want to destroy, I think that it would feel much more natural to point it away from you while field stripping, as far as ergonomics go. I'm just trying to figure out if a lot of people out there actually point their guns at themselves while cleaning them, or what's going on here?
