ND in Muncie today

What’s so hard about dropping the mag then racking the slide? Doesn’t matter if it’s a Glock or not.

In a perfect world simple but remember These days new cars have alarms to remind people to check the back seat, don't change lanes or apply the breaks so theres that. LOL

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."

Only 99.99% mutually-IN-clusive!

For those of you that have experience working at gun stores:

How often would you say there is an ND? Based on some of the videos I see about it, seems like it’s a too frequent occurrence.

Bradis has (had?) a jar full of rounds on the counter labeled “these firearms were unloaded”.

LOL! More than just one kind as well...

Appendix carry reholstering makes that and cb's rule one ... problematic

Bull****! If you can’t appendix carry or reholster when appendix carrying without pointing the firearm at yourself find another way to carry. Belief in either 3 or 4 rules shouldn’t change that decision unless pretending a gun is loaded all the time allows one to point it at their junk occasionally.

The way I was taught. FIFO.
”Always treat a gun as if was loaded.” Sums it up in my opinion. If that person and another I knew would have done that they would not have gone to the ER. Also have heard “only point a weapon in the direction of something you want to destroy” the other has served me well. If the person being told these maxims are not listening in the first place, then it is moot. Keeping it simple ....

I think you mean “Never point a weapon at anything you’re not willing to destroy”. Big difference, in a literal sense. NRA’s Three Rules all begin with the word “ALWAYS...” for good reason: clarity.

I’ll ask you all this: What does Cooper’s Rule #1 really say or mean? As an instructor or an observer, how can you know what someone is thinking unless by observing their actions? Those actions determine whether or not someone is handling a firearm safely. Therefore, keep it simple and make the rules describe observable actions which can be critiqued and corrected on the range or in a class.

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

Common excuse in Muncie; "I was cleaning it, and it went off!"

Top Guns in Terre Haute had the same thing
