Glock22, glad you are okay and nobody was hurt, dude. As you well know, it could have been a lot worse. Don't be too hard on yourself. A good number of us have had a negligent discharge at one time or another. That's not to say that what you did was okay, but let it be a learning experience to you.
I had a negligent discharge on the 22nd of August. I've owned guns for fours years now and this was the first time that it happened. I know that four years isn't a very long time to a lot of people, but I mistakenly acquired the attitude, "I'm safe with guns, a ND will never happen to me."
WRONG!
All that it took was a momentary lack of attention. It was only after this experience that I truly realized that gun safety is not an innate characteristic. Gun safety is something which requires consistent vigilance and awareness, EVERY time you handle a firearm.
