VN Vet is a 62 y/o veteran of the Vietnam conflict, he was handling guns safely in bad situations before many of you were a gleam in you Daddy's eye. Yet when he posts about an accidental Discharge in order to remind us all of proper safe handling everyone tells him how to correct the problem.
I can assure you all that the man knows the 4 safety rules and lives by safe handling, try respecting his honesty and willingness to share his mistake with all of us for the good of all who read this forum.
You know, all this talk of ND/AD got me thinking. I've got three or four bags of sand that I don't know what to do with. I think I'll fill up a bucket and keep it by my gun cabinet. Because, being in the city, there is no safe direction for me.
Hope you don't find someone in the woods. At least you'll always remember, "A gun is always loaded". I check my Glock 23 at least 3 times after I unload it. It is always in "Condition 1". Otherwise it's just a plastic hammer.
...I find it ironic that the thing the OP did to make himself feel comfortable (not keeping his Glock in condition 1), helped lead to him pressing the trigger on his gun without checking its condition. Looks like he felt comfortable pressing the trigger on his Glock without checking its condition because he "knew" he never kept his Glocks in condition 1.
You mean a ND? It wasn't an accident, it was negligent.
