Hi guys,
I had a negligent discharge today. Forgot to visually inspect my chamber on my 92FS and when I dropped the hammer (I don't know why I did that, I should have used the decocker), it discharged into mattress and into the wall. Fortunately, even though I forgot one rule of safety, I kept it pointed away from people.
I cleared my weapon, checked the hole, made sure nobody was injured, and then called the police. In these kind of situations, is it really wise to call the police immediately though? They were pretty understanding, but sometimes I wonder if that was the wisest move. What should I have done? I'm in Illinois. I know in some states they prosecute AD/ND's, not sure what the situation is here.
Thanks and stay safe guys,
E
