As you should be soak it in and learn from it. Things like this is what makes people think guns are so dangerous. I wouldn't sell you firearms though just be careful and never let it happen again.I am so ashamed and disgusted with myself right, and thinking about my lack of responsibility. I think it might be best to sell off my guns.
Yeah clear your weapon before dry firing its that simple. Consider yourself extremely lucky. Thank god nobody was killed and I hope you learn from this Im sure you did. Everyone makes mistakes but when it comes to firearms its very hard to erase those mistakes you are very fortunate cause this one is one of those exception. Happy and safe shooting.Do you guys have any ideas on safe handling and what I could do better next time?
Well now you know partially doesn't cut it. Im not trying to give you a hard time its just that these kind of mistakes make all gun owners look bad in the eyes of the anti's. Not only that but its extremely dangerous, infact I cant think of ta many things that are more dangerous then a bullet without a flight plan if you will. I just really hope you learned your lesson. Life goes on people make mistakes. This is just a scary matter.I saw the rounds on the nightstand, and even had the cylinder partially open.
I thought it was clear
The gold dot fragmented and it did not pass through the wall. I couldnt hear anything and just remember feeling stunned that a NID actually happened to me. I thought I'd been careful, I looked at the cylinder and didn't notice the cartridge in there. I am so ashamed and disgusted with myself right, and thinking about my lack of responsibility.
Sound advice. It's the way I was taught by my Dad, too. One of the biggest gun safety bugs I have ever known.VERIFY THE CONDITION OF THE CHAMBER. EVERY TIME NO EXCEPTIONS

I have always learned and teach my kids not to load a gun unless your going to fire it.
I thought it was clear
Famous last words those. When I was in the Army I had to hold a weapon for the CSM he picked up, cleared it and handed it to me. I took it , cleared it and started to put it in my pocket. He asked me why I cleared it right after him "dont you trust me?" I told him that was how I was taught.
EVERY TIME YOU TOUCH A WEAPON ( EXCEPT ONE YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIRE) YOU VERIFY THE CONDITION OF THE CHAMBER. EVERY TIME NO EXCEPTIONS
