There is a old saying that there are too kinds of people out there. Those who have had a accidential discharge and those who haven't had it yet. I have had a couple, always involving a handgun.
What's the goofiest one you have had or heard of?
Mine was with a Browning Hi-Power with no barrel in it! That takes skill, but if anyone can do I can. I was doing a trigger job on it for a customer, and was holding the slide on the frame to test the trigger. Pulled the trigger and nothing happened. Damn magazine safey I mutter. So I look around for a mag, and grab a loaded one out of my bag and shove it in the gun, then push the slide forward. BANG!!! Gun goes off, and bullet bounces off wall and hits me in the chest and falls on my lap smoking. I about load my pants from shock, then pain sets in my hand. You see I was holding the slide on the frame with my hand over the ejection port, and since there was no barrel to support the case, it exploded on ignition, blowing brass into my palm...OUCH!
I know a guy who had a gunsmith out of town play with the trigger on his 1100 Remington. He took it home, loaded it up and went hunting. When he pulled it out of his trunk he racked the bolt and proceeded to put four slugs through the bottom of his car. Gun went full auto on him.
