ERRR DERRRR....Should I put my hand in front of the barrel when loading my pistol???
For some reason I can't imagine the level of stupid for someone to put or have their hand in front of a barrel of a firearm they are loading!
I'm with Kirk on this one. If they want ppl to unload their weapons they should provide a safe environment/area to do so. I think it would be better to not have ppl messing with their guns personally since all these NDs happen during loading/unloading but that'll never happen.

guess he just ruined his sex lifeShot self in the hand it says
Perhaps if they were to be held liable for injuries during NDs that policy would change.
How does one even get their hand in front of the barrel whilst loading/unloading? I have loaded unloaded my semi auto pistols literally MILLIONS of time and cant figure that one out.
Wonder if the DEA agent that shot himself in front of those kids had been trained by a "Certified Legitimate Trainer" or just a certified trainer...
Just got the press release from ISP in my inbox:
Accidental Discharge at Gun and Knife Show Slightly Injures One
Indianapolis, IN- This afternoon at approximately 4:15 p.m., Indiana State Police responded to the Indy 1500 Gun and Knife show being held at the South Pavilion of the State Fairgrounds to the report of an accidental shooting.
The investigation revealed that a patron of the event, Emory L. Cozee, 54, of Indianapolis, had walked out the east entrance of the South Pavilion building and was loading his .45 caliber semi-automatic when he shot himself in the hand.
Cozee was transported to Wishard Hospital for treatment.
The investigation determined the shooting to be accidental and no charges will be filed.
*No qualms with posting his name, since it 'is' in an ISP press release...
No, hand. Pay attention.
No, hand. Pay attention.
Training won't do away with 100% of ND's because every group has "That guy" but when you factor in percentages trained personnel have a lot less than untrained! And for the record I am a certifed Federal LE Firearms instructor and am quietly ammused by the Call of Duty 3 mentality that I see at almost every gun shop and gun show, Not by everyone but you see it a lot!
How appropriate would it have been, if Mr. Cozee was a cop.
Or perhaps he is...or was?
Well as we all know "those things just have a mind of their own".... Well in truth accidents are accidents, hopefully they are treated as such. I know the media spins stuff, hopefully they just call it a ND and be done with it. This type of "shooting" doesn't really help their agenda a whole lot either. Just trying to be optimistic...
This was right outside the doors of the show. It appeared the gentleman shot his pinky finger off. I saw the State Trooper walk by with a box from the scene. Appeared to be a 1911.
This guy was wheeled to an ambulance on a stretcher with oxygen. Wife hopped in the front seat of the ambulance.
