Negligent discharge.

Often discussed with AD. Accidental discharge

Negligent Discharge. AKA "It done just gone off all by itselfs."

 

[BigRed]

Based on my time in Muncie, I think it is safe to say there is a long history of negligent discharges around there.

Once again...."negligent" and "accidental" are not mutually exclusive. It is theoretically possible to have an accidental discharge that is not negligent (mechanical failure, for instance), but pretty much all negligent discharges are accidental.

Accident: "An unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally."

My first thought was the NFAC was at it again. Hopefully nobody is hurt.

I stopped in there today, they said a customer was unloading his gun before he came into the shop. Thought it was unloaded now pulled the trigger and took a round to the leg with no exit.

I hope he didn't go to Ball Memorial for treatment.

Rule #1: ALWAYS keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction.

...so when one thinks it’s unloaded it’s OK to point it at your leg and pull the trigger? A better idea might be to keep it pointed in a safe direction all the time, just in case, you know.

 

[foszoe]

Rather it pointed at his leg than someone else's

One thing’s for sure if I **** up and pop off an ND I’d rather it hit me than someone else (said Mr. Obvious).

I was working the counter at a rather large gun store in Mishawaka when a customer let one rip from his .45 right into the floor. It was crazy.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Huh. I stopped by there today to browse suppressors and overheard someone talking about it. Didn't realize it was right there. Yeesh.

RULE #1 Always treat a gun as if it is loaded.
