Well... watermelon happens....

I have been losing the use of my hands and arms for nearly 8 years now and I accidentally let off a round of my Colt combat commander .45 officers model , in the living room with my Niece's new born daughter roughly 2 to 3 feet from me sitting on the couch, my Dad was to the left about 4 feet in his brand new recliner... I had my gun pointed down towards my new recliner and my thumb slipped the hammer letting of a hollow point round that nearly destroyed my new recliner.... thank GOD it didn't ricochet and hit one of my family...

Simple slip of the mind can really F something or someone up

I knew to discharge the magazine and discharge the chambered round before letting the hammer off... yet I rushed it...

This happened around last August, since I'm losing control of my hands, I've stopped carrying any loaded ready to pull trigger and fire guns... I even keep my Ruger blackhawk .44 mag with revolver with empty slot on first pull....

Is better to be safe than sorry..... and I have shot competition since I was 12, and have Expert on 2 different firearms and a Marksman on a 3rd when I was in the Navy...note: I stopped shooting competition about 7 years ago, like I said watermelon happens...

And in the case of firearms it kills or injures people.  It's unforgivable and so easily prevented.  Four basic rules.  I'm sorry you're having the issue with your hands, perhaps you shouldn't be handling loaded firearms.

Yeah, I'm over due for 3 to 4 surgeries to hopefully fix my inabilities, colmbo... I figured I would just put it out there... I've always told it like it is, no reason or worries to stop because of some issues I might be dealing with...

Hopefully someone will learn from what I've posted...

The only medical excuse the clown in the video has is a defect between the ears.

You can see that his legs are a little wobbly after that happened.

Yeah.  He is kinda staggering.   His hearing protection got knocked backwards on his head and he is trying to clear the cobwebs. 

The more you watch the more stuff you notice. 

I totally agree with the Biff comparison.

What should the instructor say or do after an errant round is discharged?

He should have said he was handling the gun wrong and that no matter how long you have handled guns, always follow the rules of gun safety.

He was all over the place with a loaded gun. This guy was/is an idiot.

I'd have been out of there before it even happened. He's an obvious idiot with far more mouth and ego then brains and training. Putting your finger on the trigger while off the line and not wanting to shoot isnt bad enough I guess so he then had to cock it.

The reason Ive never had an AD is cause i know my first is always right there waiting to happen the second I disrespect that gun and start running my mouth trying to impress others. I know a fool at my old job who got on at the range and was so busy trying to impress recruits as to what an expert he is that he couldnt tell a red Glock from a real black one and he sent a 9mm round right down a line of recruits lined up in a hallway. It was a miracle he didnt kill anyone.

And if you do do something unsafe with a gun then at least have the decency to eat your own manure and learn from it. I dont even like to go to public ranges anymore.
