Negligent Discharge
I had my first Negligent Discharge today. It was with my Glock 17 too. I never keep my Glock in Condition 1 because there is no easy way to tell if there is a round in the chamber.
However, the pistol was in Condition 1 and unless the cats have learned to rack a slide, I am the idiot who did it. The loaded chamber indicator is not the best and IMO is not easy to read. The trigger can only tell you that the gun is cocked.
Fellow members, please be careful when handling any firearm. The magazine was removed, but I did not rack the slide and check the barrel as I should have. Remember I "never" keep my Glocks in Condition 1. It can happen to the best of us.
I thank God that no one was hurt, but I sure scared the cats. I always point the gun in a safe direction when I pull the trigger on any fire arm and in my home, that is out the window and into the trees. So I have a window glass and screen to replace. I am greatful I practiced that safety precaution. There are no do-overs with ND.
I hope this confession keeps you a little bit safer.
Safe shooting,
Vv
ps: Yes, I know I need to listen to myself.
