When I first went into the service Uncle sugar issued a Mod 15 SW revolver. SP’s controllers and anyone else not allowed a 1911A1 wore an issue jordan style holster . As they sat down in chairs with arms on em the arm would un-snap the holster the first time. The next time they sat down the arm of the evil chairs would catch the hammer spur just enough to draw it back but not cock it. As the hammer cleared the arm on the chair it dropped just enough to fire !

Lots of pucker factor boomage till that line of “office chairs” was tossed to DRMO for salvage sales !!!

Lots of factors. Sad to say that carrying a gun is not unlike driving a car, your bound to get a dent in that perfect shine at times. Trick is not let it be a fatal accident. The the age old rule of never point it at anything ya do not want too destroy !.....the gun not the car !

Stay safe Ya’ll !!!

I HATE ADs! I was in a vehicle once when somebody discharged a varmint rifle (.243 Win). I got out on the spot and left them. I also had a rifle that I loaned to a friend of mine....it was a Rem M-700 (also a .243 Win). He was unloading it in my house and "said" that it discharged when he locked a cartridge into battery. I wasn't there when it happened. He put a hole completely through the ceiling and then the roof. I didn't know if I should believe him or not. I took the rifle out a day later and while pointing it at the ground I chambered a round s-l-o-w-l-y. Nothing happened. I switched the safety from "safe" to "fire" and *KA-BOOM*....scared the crap out of me! The round went safely into the ground though. I tried it again, and this time pushed the safety forward very slowly and nothing happened. So I whacked the side of the rifle with the palm of my hand. Once again, it discharged. I took it to a gunsmith buddy of mine, and he showed me how the trigger box on the Rem M-700 works, and he showed me how the sear-break screw had come loose and was moving OUT.

He reset it back to 2lbs...degreased the threads and Loctited it. It was a real learning experience for me!
