Gun Fails

>showing friend new gun
>he wants to see how it disassembles
>Point gun down range, pull slide, drop magazine, gun is clear
>Proceed to then muzzle sweep him without even noticing it until I take it apart
I felt like an idiot all day after.

>gun is clear
>giving a shit about muzzle sweeps after it's been cleared

Stop being a fucking autist. It's locked back, it's not going to summon a round from the magazine ON THE TABLE and magically load it, close the slide, then shoot your friend

God, so fucking stupid.

>Shooting handgun innapublicland back when I was first getting into guns
>Looking for a place to set up some bottles to shoot
>Decide to set up a few yards in front of a big rock, figuring it'll make a good backstop just in case
>Fire first round
>Hear "zing" go right over my head
>Realize that I just almost ricochet'd myself in the face

I've felt retarded about that forever.

>first year deer hunting with muh 30-30

>just a squirrel or bird

>thumb slips off hammer and makes thunderous boom

Gun was laid across my lap, but I still felt stupid.

"Don't worry about it ... look, the clip is not even in it." To satisfy Johnson's concerns, Kath showed the empty magazine to Johnson. Kath then replaced the magazine in the gun, put the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. However, there was a round in the chamber, and Kath died instantly.

It's like you didnt even read the two posts you're replying to.

What if the slide is lying to you, and it's not really cocked back?

despite the weird push-back you're getting over this, I have totally done it and felt like an idiot after. The person I swept didn't notice either.

Call me an autist or whatever, but I never want to take the chance, no matter how sure I am of anything. And excuse me for having such ingrained gun safety beliefs that I worry over breaking them, even accidentally in a way that's totally impossible to hurt anyone.

You know, I think that's a part of it. Sure, when it was safe, it happened once. But, you know, I didn't do it on purpose. I wasn't like, "The gun is 100% safe, I can now do whatever I want." It was an actual accident caused by my negligence or just not thinking. It could have just as easily been loaded and ready to go. I like to hope and think not, that I treat loaded guns with far more vigilance, but I try to treat loaded and unloaded guns the same. And if this is how I treated my unloaded gun, there's that part of me that believes if circumstance was just slightly different, the same thing could have happened with a loaded firearm

And I think that's where that feeling comes from, for me.

Eh, worst I had happen is a failure to extract in my AR. Was used to shooting AK's, which I keep clean but not "wet". AR jammed, RO gets it out and the guy next to me tells me I should keep it really wet and cleans + oils it for me. Bretty good experience.

The 4 rules and redundant for a reason.

>malpractice is okay
Wrong

>>32093150
Yup when followed only serious injuries possible are reciever failure related

>>32092657

I think it's more about keeping the mentality of always treating the gun like it's loaded. Most ND's happen just because the person gets too complacent.

Saw exactly this happen twice. There are a few times autistic levels of safety are worth it and firearms especially when you have neighbors and cops to piss off is one of them.
