What is the single stupidest thing you have done with a gun

What is the single stupidest thing you have done with a gun? I was about to start cleaning my 10/22 and was about to make sure the chamber was empty when i i tried to pull the bolt back and it sliped forward and ended up firing a live round in my back yard went thrue a dry erase board a ladder into a brick wall then flew off into an other brick wall before stopping. :banghead: last time im ever letting one of my friends inspect the chambers after leaving the range at least it was a .22 short. Needless to say i feel really really stupid and bad at the same time.

Dumbest:

Kaboom!

Second dumbest:

I flagged my friend's girlfriend with my loaded Beretta 92FS. That was seven years ago and I'm still pushing.

I sold my Contender.

I once flagged my hunting buddies with my .44 Magnum rifle after I harvested my first deer (4-point spike). I grabbed my rifle for a photo op. I guess I was pretty excited about my first deer, but that was no excuse. I was holding it with one hand by the stock under the barrel, but it did register in my mind after the fact.

When I was a kid in the big city, I would push .22 rounds into the ground with the shell up and peak out my screen door and shoot the shell with my Daisy lever BB gun. I thought it was cool then, but I could have shot my eye out!

A .22 short went through a dry erase board, a ladder, hit a brick wall, bounced off and hit another wall?

gameface i was amazed myself.

 

[snug]

Sold any gun that I ever purchased or was given, to buy something
else newer or precieved to be better. I had a couple of bummers
over the years, but lament over all the goods ones,that are gone.

The more numerous the laws...

Registered it-like a good California sheep is supposed to.

Tested the decocker of my CZ-52, loaded, in the house after I had gotten it, and before I read that the CZ-52 decocker sometimes worked, and sometimes didn't, when you got it from where ever you bought it.

[Soap]

Left it at home?

 

[Myself]

Purchased a gun and didn't shoot it.

Have done this one multiple times. Fortunatly there is still time to cure the problem.

 

[Michigander]

Repeat after me:

I, (your name here), do solemnly swear, from this day forward, to never, ever sell any firearm that I happen to come into ownership of, whether it's purchased, a gift, inherited, or by any other means.



I've never sold any of mine!



editted to add: This oath does not in any discourage you from acquiring more firearms.

 

[chetrogers]

Bought a Jennings 9mm pistol.

 

[deej]

Didn't buy an SP89 that I saw on a shelf back in...93 I think. Gaaaahhhhh...

 

[WalkerTexasRanger]

Shot my Dad's freezer with an "unloaded" pellet gun. It took it like a champ...

 

[agony]

Shot my television with my HD Winchester 1300.
Then instinctively racked the pump and rechambered before I realized what I did. While my wife (gf at the time) sat screaming on the couch a few feet to my right.

 

[Larry Ashcraft]

I sold my Contender

And later, a field grade LC Smith. :banghead:

But the dumbest thing ever. I tried patterning a .22 shotshell through my Single Six;

On a piece of particle board;

Six feet away.

OWWW!

 

[P95Carry]

Dropped my (unloaded) old 686 into a mud puddle at a practical shoot ..... and was on the next detail ... duh! Quickest strip and clean I ever did .. including sideplate off!

Other stoopids?? Not telling!

 

[wasrjoe]

I have two sitting in my closet that were my biggest mistakes. One, the ammo is way to expensive and scarce to ever shoot it, and the other doesn't work worth a damn.

 

[reagansquad]

I was shooting my first shotgun back when I was like 16. The only other thing I had ever fired was my dad's .38 special and my bb gun. After expelling a magazine of 3" 00 buck, I handed the shotgun back to the guy who was nice enough to take me shooting... I think I was a little dazed by the recoil because I accidently covered him w/ the muzzle. He was a certified range officer, and I caught a friendly, gentle slap across the face and a warning about what they do to people in the army when they make that mistake... also a warning that if I did it again I couldn't shoot w/ them anymore. Boy was I embarrased. I've never made that mistake again.

She was probably terrified that the stereo was next.

At least Agony can't be accused of having bad form...

Shot my television with my HD Winchester 1300.

Then instinctively racked the pump and rechambered before I realized what I did.

*sigh* Traded a Mosin-Nagant M44 for...

*whimper* here goes...

a nylon soft rifle case. One of the cheap Wal-Mart kind. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

That, and purchasing a Winchester 1911SL.

I will never, and I mean NEVER, go to Big Boy's ever again. The only gun I will ever sell is that Winchester... and only to a franchise pawn shop that is too dumb to know better.

 

[38SnubFan]

Got to the range.....

Didn't yet put my "ears" on.....

Wasn't taking notice to the young man with a 9mm pistol pointed downrange and aimed on target.....

Standing about 5 feet to his right.....

BANG!

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! (in my ears).

While my hearing returns, feeling REALLY stupid! :banghead:

NEVER MADE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN!
