So, I recently purchased a .38 revolver off an awesome member of the trader. While chit chatting with him I had my wife put the pistol in the glove box. Fast forward in time... I had at some point loaded the pisol, placed it back in the holster, and back on the glove box. Well an hour ago when I asked her to retrieve it; the stars lined up perfectly an whether DA/SA or what the pistol went off aimed at me, and flew out of her hands. AT A RED LIGHT. (My wife is competent in handling a firearm). 158gr hollow point flew in front oft chest between my ORGANS and the steering wheel and hit the door 2 MAYBE 3 inches from my arm. The bullet went through the interior and was stopped by fords patented bulletproof exterior. Guys, my scenario wasn't the safest; but it wasn't the most dangerous either. No idea why I had to ask her to pass it to me at that moment in time; but I learned my lesson. There's no such thing as casually handling a firearm. And no precaution is too cautious. I never in a billion years thought I would ever see a negligent discharge but low and behold. Please be careful with your firearms, and thank god for the day. Cuz your wife might kill you at a red light. God forbid that bullet had exited my vehicle. With the drop of a hammer life could change forever. Again please be careful guys!!!

You must be living right cause there was all kind of bad that could of happened, glad you both are ok
What scares me is that it wasn't even one of those stories where someone was doing something ignorant with their firearm. The reality of that bullet hitting someone....especially someone in the car next to us is just unfathomable. When I heard the shot it literally took a good 10 seconds to make sure I wasnt hit.
