My wife shot at me today.

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!!!
What model revolver was it?
 
Said first, ...."It's loaded, ....hey pass me the firearm."

But not already treating it like it's loaded is the questionable part.
Glad you're ok, ...she's needs more sit down safety time Lol
Shouldn't matter if it's loaded or not... I am sure there is more to this story. No one that's "competent at handling a firearm" would remove it from the holster, point it towards somebody, and pull the trigger. That's too many "accidents" in one to make sense

First , I am glad you are OK, but I have to agree "competent" may be an overstatement bc the statistical possibility of the firearm discharging without her input is miniscule. Either way...buy some new undies and have another blessed day.
