Gun Cleaning Accident
Posted: Sun Sep 04, 2011 5:51 am
HOW MANY times do we have to be told NOT to clean a firearm when it's still LOADED?
This was a .40 cal hollow point. It entered the hand, exited and went into his leg.
This guy put racked his slide by holding onto the END of the barrel. His other hand...was on the grip and his finger was on the trigger.
This is a great example of why we should be very, very diligent when handling our guns. When cleaning, ALL ammo should be put in a another room...far, far away from the cleaning process. Every gun should be checked and rechecked prior to cleaning...and then you should follow ALL basic safety rules even when cleaning!
At least he only shot himself, he could of shot his wife, or kid, or worse; his dog!
