It wasn't me. It looks like the damage was extensive.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. First off yeah the guy said "clip" big ****ing deal guys. Real gun guys still say clip sometimes. We dont need to shame them. (Someone was gonna do it trust me).just wait. Someone wont read my comment and ad the thread goes they will say it. Just wait for it.

Second, did he just say his son in law had already shot his finger off with a .45? And he still went shooting with the guy?
What did he expect.
But hey I liked how he blamed his failure on someone else. Yeah if his SIL put the gun away loaded like that he sucked, but come on man, 4 rules.

Ouch, looks like there was still allot of birdshot left in the shoulder even after the reconstruction. But then again a 12 gauge at that close of range loaded with almost literally anything will give someone a very very bad day.

The guy said "clip"...

Well I was going to add my 2 cents, but why? How many times have we hashed this type of incident? No accident about it .....

Anyone that was or is a Range Officer has dealt with "what's the big deal, it's unloaded" duh ....

Living proof, (fortunately) that stupid hurts, and a lesson. It does not always hurt the stupid party.

One more lesson. The four rules do protect us, and we defy them at our peril.

The clip thing and in the pic he said lower left, I think the wad is in the lower right. There's just a couple things I find off with the story but if it did happen he's probably on damn good pain killers and mistypings happen

Mostly though, I heard on Ingo that bird loads are worthless for home defense cause they only go into birds a little bit and barely kill them so how could they harm a human

Close range hamburger. Not as good as free range grass fed hamburger but still tore up from the floor up.

Wow. I bet that hurt.

reminded me of my old roommate from college I took deer hunting. As soon as we got out of the truck I asked him to make sure his gun was unloaded. He pulled the trigger to check and I saw the slug fly out. Wtf! That was the end of the trip for me. I told him I was too rattled and we needed to go home.

You can't say that, you'll reduce them to tears and fits of rage.

Still can’t believe he called it a “clip”.

That's going to leave a mark.

You guys never disappoint

The end of the barrel was what, maybe 6 inches from his shoulder? Hey if you want to use bird loads and wait until your attacker get within 6 inches of you be my guess.

 

[dbartromvette]

ouch!!

I wonder how many knowledgeable people scold themselves for a brief moment of stupid concerning the Four Rules?

That gent either didn't know the rules or didn't practice them. The article doesn't state such, but leads one to believe he knew the rules and failed to follow them?

Interesting commentary on blaming the SIL and referencing LEO and military...

Exactly. How far out is a bird on average when you touch off one. It is a heck of a lot farther the 6"s.
I wonder how much damage the expanding gases added to all of this at that range.
