I had my last appointment with my chiropractor today 
and we got to talking about guns and this led to a story...
He went hunting with some friends one day, they had had no luck (or skill I suspect) had packed up all their gear and were driving back. The three of them were all stuffed into the cab of a pick-up truck bouncing over washboard tracks on their way back to a main road.
The driver suddenly stops the truck and decides he wants to hunt some squirrels. He takes his deer rifle points it out of the cab of the truck, pulls the trigger and C-Lick! nothing happens. So he brings the gun into the cab and does something to it, the Doc was not specific, anyway the rifle then goes off, in the cab.
Somehow the bullet does not penetrate the roof of the cab and instead follows the curvature of the cab until it passes behind the bench seat and impacts the floor of the truck.
So the Doc decides to get out and walk back to the main road.
Not much of a story I agree, what I want to know though is just how many mistakes were made.
I am a rookie on the practical side of firearms and I would like some of y'all experienced types to use this episode as a primer on what not to do.
I could probably list all the mistakes myself having provide the account, but I really want to see what others see in the incident.
Thanks,
