My two cents on the .25 Auto after being shot by one.

[Cocked & Locked]

Yes the Glock and CA are drop safe...and for that I was glad and still am glad! Still scary when it happens though.

Thanks for sharing.

I used to have an aunt that lived in one of the badder neighborhoods of Minneapolis, MN. We would go visit her every few years. My brother and I having established a love of firearms from birth, my aunt showed my brother and I the little .25 she kept in her purse. One year we show up at her place and as usual, we inquire about her shiny little .25. She says she got rid of it. "Why," we ask. "Because I was getting too old to throw it accurately," she replies.

I'm curious if the police became involved at all, and if so what the outcome was.

I once made a decision not to use pistols without firing pin safeties for carry - only for recreation. I did that just because of experiences like yours. Thank you for your story. It will make an already safe person even safer.

Any puncture wound is bad, especially to the internal organs. I venture to say, had a long phillips screwdriver been rammed into the same place on the same azimuth, the situation would have probably been similar.

Been on several calls where people have shot themselves accidentally.

Usually it's "Dang Bud...that really sucks, you'll be alright, ambulance will be here in a minute...just sit still..keep pressure...don't move...etc. Make sure it was an accident in any way I can. Witness's or, in the OP's case, angle and trajectory. Not intentionally self inflicted or an assault....and, that's about it. One paragraph report, book the weapon in...if its a little hinky, get crime scene to take photos etc in case he expires.
I've never seen it go further.

Writing him a ticket for "discharge firearm within city limits" and tucking it in his pocket while they roll him out to the amberlamps is not really gonna teach him a lesson to not shoot himself in the future and, is generally in bad form...
