Go ahead - come to the firearm confessional... confess your sins and seek forgiveness.
We have all in our learning years made a big mistake with a gun. Lets get it out in the open and let the healing begin.
When I was 16, I had a .22 revolver - the Ruger Single Six I mentioned before. I had unloaded it, pointed it at my reflection... and blew a huge hole in my reflection. that hole looked like a fifty cal wound in my forehead. And the ROAR was DEAFINING!
Also while in the servive... I was fishing the links out of the reciever of a badly jammed M-60. Then suddenly the bolt slammed forward... loading my PINKY into the chamber. OUCH.
Then a month later I was in the field, and was handling an AT-4 Simulator, a Viper... Well thank heavens it was a simulator. I accidently fired a round... In LAZER LIGHT - that set of my PLATOON'S miles gear. I vertually killed my entire PLATOON. I still can not live that one down.
So go ahead and share your black moments. I FEEL YOUR PAIN.
