Arik 565 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) Today, while I was buying a handgun at the local gunstore/shooting range, some guy blew his hand off on one of the lanes. They arnt sure if it was bad reloads that blew the gun apart or if he had his hand in front of the muzzle when he pulled the trigger. I only say this as a reminder to stay safe out there, even at range, complacency is the mother of fuck ups! Edited January 9, 2011 by Arik 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arik 565 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 When I was there ut was his hand. He was on the floor clutching his hand. But who knows could be his face as well. If that's the vase it looks like reloads were to blame Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arik 565 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Ill be there some time this week for the FN 45. Ill find out what it was then 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 It says the bullet hit him in the face. Is this just media retardation, and it was actually just shrapnel from the gun blowing up......or did he actually shoot himself in the face? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'll bet it was one of those evl high capacity automatic handguns and it just jumped up and shot him in the face. Guns hurt people. He was lucky the gun didn't decide to shoot everyone in the place and just go on an all out rampage. Where do I sign the ban petition? .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bohound 281 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Not just high capacity evl, but high powered! Had he been using a low powered handgun, he'd be fine. Sign me up for the ban as well. This gun could have gotten completely out of control and that's why we need gun control. Edited January 10, 2011 by bohound Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koljec 37 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Targetmaster? I had someone drop a pistol in the lane next to me at Targetmaster. Was glad it didn't go off because it landed with barrel in my direction. Wasn't really sure what the protocol is for something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was glad it didn't go off because it landed with barrel in my direction. Wasn't really sure what the protocol is for something like that. A loud "WTF DUDE!" followed by a bitching out and strong suggestion to leave the range, I would imagine. (if no range officer.) If range officer, do the wtf dude, then go get the RO to kick him off the range. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
