My wife shot at me today.

Sorry, man. But if a bullet exited a firearm and through nothing but sheer luck missed a human by mere inches with no idea how it happened, then by definition, someone WAS doing something ignorant with a firearm.

Investment by both of you in some quality firearms training by a competent instructor will help you identify the cause and make sure it doesn't happen again. Glad everyone is ok!

We would be having a very different discussion if the bullet exited the firearm and entered the body of a passenger in a vehicle next to you. I don't subscribe to the "accidents happen" mentality. That said, I am really glad you get a second chance.

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.

Did you SPOT yourself?

warning shot.....that's all...just a shot across the bow. she'll hit you next time.....

 

[shootsacanon]

the pistol went off

Really, really, glad you're okay. I think most POTG will agree that guns don't just go off, especially DA/SA revolvers. Something has to move that hammer back, and release it forward.

You must have a guardian angle. Glad that nobody was injured or worse.

You'll never get the poop smell out of the car.

Did you SOIL yourself?

Fixed

I guess it's better to be called stoopid than pronounced dead. Fortunately, you don't carry a manly caliber.

Thanks for the reminder, this is always good to hear every once in a while. Everyone can have a ND

 

[sparked1]

But seriously. It could've SO much worse. Glad you're telling the story and hopefully laughing about it.
