Not sure, but I think he's doing it wrong

[fastfredracing]

I know this guy. He has been posting photos all over Facebook of his two new guns. A 45, and a 38. He nicknamed them Pebbles, and Bam , Bam.
. This was todays Facebook post by him. Looks like Bam Bam bit back.
He has also muffed up some real nice cars in the short time I have known him.

The kind of guy that gives responsible gun owners a bad name.....

[GH85Carrera]

I always have a tough time feeling any sympathy for really stupid people. Anyone that shoots them-self is by definition a really stupid person. It is a pure "Hold my beer and watch this" moment.

[dennis in se pa]

I think that is a qualification for having your guns taken away.

I am a long time gun owner and NRA member, but we need to protect ourselves from some people.

This guy is one of them.

Mental/social issues?

[fastfredracing]

No mental , social issues that I know of , actually a nice guy, but has rich kid syndrome. Daddy has MONEY, and this kid has all the toys, but lacks common sense. Just glad he did not take out any of his buddies. The guy is 25. His dad is a cool guy, and kind of a hard ass, hopefully he kicks his ass, and takes his guns away.

it isn't even his foot!

[speeder]

That looks like a puncture wound/animal bite, not a GSW.

[sammyg2]

Not trying to interfere in darwin's business, but do we know details?

Did he shoot himself, did the gun explode, etc?
Kinda hard to condemn the guy based on a picture and zero info.
Or at least it should be.

[vash]

looks like a puncture from a phillips screwdriver..or a small broadhead on an arrow. if that is a gunshot..i need to rethink my caliber choices. i would imagine more damage?

[fastfredracing]

Sorry, I don't know any details other than seeing this photo and his words that state. " Oops I shot myself with my .45". I do have visions of him trying to do quick draw Mcgraw in his backyard though.
I'm supposed to put a clutch in their SC in the spring, so hopefully , I'll get some details .

[Jim Bremner]

Is his 45 a glock? lot of self wounds while striping glocks for cleaning.


I thought broadhead as well but too narrow o slits on exit wound

[A930Rocket]

That's what I thought, as I have one on my left hand where it slipped and gouged me.

Wouldn't a .45 do a little more damage?

Yea thats not a gun shot i'm gussing a driver sliped off a screw.

[aigel]

Man - you could have warned us of the GRAPHIC images.

I agree - that's a punch through with a phillips head screw driver. How is that possible working on a pistol? It takes a lot of force to punch through your hand.

Mid-twenties is not the time in your life to pick up injuries like that which indicate gross negligence. By that time you should have learned to be careful as now you aren't playing with pellet guns and pocket knives any more.

NO excuse while cleaning ANY weapon.

[Rick Lee]

I don't get the accidental shoots while cleaning Glocks. How does that happen? I've never even thought of cleaning a gun without clearing it first. And even then, I always have the muzzle is a safe direction while taking it all down. I guess the benefit of always carrying with one in the pipe is I never assume it's unloaded, even when I know it is unloaded.

[onewhippedpuppy]

There's no such thing as a "unloaded" gun. That's what I've always been taught.

[Lothar]

Anyone that has an accidental discharge while cleaning any gun needs to be convinced not to buy the gun in the first place.

There are procedures for such things that must be followed in the same way that you would not walk into the street in front of a moving bus. It's that simple.
