More Gun Control Needed (Page 4): One additional point: Unload a gun before you hand it to someone or, at least, tell them it's loaded.

He drove to a friend's house after having a .45 slug go through him? So much for the awesome power of the 1911!

Worse yet, my friend also was a firearms trainer and knew that but his friend came in while he was sitting in a recliner watching TV and grabbed the gun off the fireplace mantle.

The idiot friend apologized profusely numerous times during and after the event but their friendship fell apart after that. They saw each other one time a couple years later and the friend said, "What happened? You don't call me anymore, don't answer the phone when I call you, and you avoid me." My friend said, "What do you expect? You came in my house and acted like a fool then shot one of my nuts off!"

Since you didn't use Quote Reply, I don't know if you're talking to me, but he didn't drive to a friends house, the friend came to his house and shot him with his own gun he was going to sell to him. 911 took him to the hospital which fortunately was only about two miles from there.

I'd say my friendship with someone doing that to me would have ended that day as well.

You might have mistaken what he meant. I believe he was talking about the post, not your statement. No harm, no foul, we all do it sometimes, a faux pas.

My question is - how do you, while putting a gun in a holster shoot yourself in the front and have it exit through the butt. How was the gun being put away? The only way I perceive it is one of two ways. He dropped it, which wasn't stated. Or it wasn't really the true story. I just can't see how the trajectory of the injury could happen otherwise.

Talk about Ouch! When I was a surgical resident we had a guy come in with a bullet hole in his buttock but no visible exit, I got an x-ray and found it. At the end of his johnson. It had tunnelled the whole length, just under the skin. The cops were coming in the ER all night to admire the picture of the "Loaded Pistol".

LMFAO. In the marines, if you referred to your rifle as a gun, you had to carry it around the base all day, pointing first to the rifle, and then to your groin, reciting "This is my rifle. This is my Gun. This is for shooting, this is for fun.

I suppose if the holster was on the front right of his belt, and he was putting the gun into the holster with a sharp angle to use his thigh as leverage to push it down into the holster hard, it could have gone in that direction. Personally I avoid aiming my holster in that direction completely and keep it back by my hip on the far right side of me so it points straight down toward the seat while sitting.

Even in the Corps, I was around an accidental discharge.
In Nam, there had been a rash of accidental discharges, so an order came down, when we entered the compound, we were to have our bolts open so the personal in charge could stick their pinky into our chamber to make sure it was empty. For those who don't know, (0 dark thirty, and no lights advertising the compound, only way to check.) A few nights after the order was official, the Sgt. while checking our rifles, shot the tip of his boot off with his shotgun. No injury to him. No one checked his.

I suppose in today's military, somebody "sticking their pinky into your chamber" in the dark could have a completely different meaning...

Sorry... couldn't help myself...

All I can say is OUCH. How in the world do you do something like that?

Mexico has real gun control! Try and get a gun there (legally). That includes hunting weapons too.

Through the news they find mass graves of all those safe people, who were executed and not by the state.

Mexico does not have real enforced gun control. All the have is a paper rule and American companies illegally 'pushing' guns for sale.
