You live and learn... my ND was a painful reminder that I'm human, and a lapse in judgement is possible for ANYONE to have. Check out my thread for my ND story, glad no one got hurt from yours.
Ummm.... pulling the trigger to "verify" that a gun is unloaded...
Drop the hammer for storage, whatever... OK. That debate will probly last longer than The Great Caliber Wars... and always in a safe direction, that's just habit...
But pulling the trigger to see if it's loaded or not...
I'm gonna guess just a poor choice of phrasing...
In this case, you should never get into shooting sports...Quote:

Pulling the trigger and dropping the hammer has nothing to do with checking the status of the gun, its just there to add a little bit of visual confirmation for the other people in the match that your holstered gun is unloaded like it should be when you're not on the line.
I have to be honest, after reading the title of this thread I chuckled a little bit due to teenage humor.
clance - Still don't know why you feel the need to cram an 8th round into the pistol though...
I know...but what does pulling the trigger have to do with the process of unloading a firearm?strambo - pulling the trigger at the clearing barrel, is the LAST step in a process where the FIRST step is to remove the magazine. BTW, we didn't have clearing barrels in afghan...
If you're going to continue to follow the practice of pulling the trigger get a 30 gallon scrap drum and fill it with sand so that you can make a shoot drum.
