One of my old firearms safety instructors almost died from a simple, stupid mistake. He ejected the round from the chamber, then removed the magazine, completely forgetting that he'd chambered a new round. He then proceeded to clean the weapon and ended up putting a bullet through his own abdomen. Fortunately, he was able to receive prompt medical attention and survived.

I see people here acting like they can't make mistakes. You can. I have seen it happen to people a lot more responsible than me. All it takes is a little distraction - internal or external.

There are no unloaded weapons.
