I was cleaning my gun and....

[CTS]

now it's clean. I was under the impression it was supposed to lob a round through the wall or have killed someone in the process. What gives?

 

[bradmedic04]

You're doing it wrong.

 

[OneBadV8]

Apparently you weren't cleaning a Glock

 

[indyjohn]

Funny. We had the same thing happen tonight. 3 pistols and 4 rifles cleaned, none of them injured anyone.

Strange.

All my guns must be defective; none of them have killed anyone, even while being cleaned (You're supposed to get halfway through the second mag before declaring an "accident") and mine steadfastly refuse to fire.

Next time clear the chamber before you eject the magazine.

I didn't go shooting and was cleaning my AR. It seems lots of people cleaning their guns on a Saturday night, while watching football?

 

[saleen4971]

i think you cleared it wrong. you are supposed to keep the mag in, and while aiming at someone you care about, pull the trigger until it goes "click"...................

Steelers lost.....Steelers lost

I missed the memo....I failed to clean my guns tonight.....we need a gun cleaning thread to make sure every INGO member cleans on the same night.....LOL

 

[Birds Away]

You're supposed to clean your guns?

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Only for an opportunity to have an accidental discharge, ideally with injury or death.

I also failed to clean my gun tonight . . . in semi-related news my gun failed to leave the house of its own accord and shoot up castleton square mall.
I guess I'm missing all the fun

I tore down one of my Glocks yesterday and put in a new magazine release and a grip frame insert. Still here to talk about it this morning.

My wife is now on a journey to begin carrying. We were discussing holster options, on our way back from the range when she started talking about her concerns of the trigger accidentally getting pressed. We discussed purse carry, the most recent incident involving such, etc... which then led to 'accidents'.

Out of the blue she asks "What I don't understand is, how in the hell do people manage to shoot themselves, or someone else, when they are cleaning a gun?"

She's never cleaned or taken down a firearm. But she's used them enough to know to make sure they are cleared when handling them. Made me LOL when even she realizes how negligent a discharge is (during cleaning of a firearm).

I can see how somebody could get complacent and forget to do one simple thing, but if you take the firearm seriously and treat it with respect you will not be the person on RTV6 who blew a hole in their childs head because "it just went off."

Some people just think they know better and others realize that a firearm can save life and take life.

it was a gun cleaning weekend, 1 handgun , 1 muzzle loader and 1 bolt gun all cleaned . Half hour of Dry Fire with bolt gun and with EDC after cleaning. A good way to end the weekend and watch the Colts play
