About a year ago, my then 14 year old son and I were out at a range shooting skeet and he had a single shot 410, He put a shell in closed the gun and it discharged and blew a hole in the fence in front of him. I thought he had pulled the trigger, so I put another shell in, closed the gun and it fired again. Turns out the firing pin broke and jammed in the firing position. He then understood why always point down range, not at your foot on any other part of your or someone else's body.
