For all of you who've decided that I'm some rotten, terrible person unsafe person who cannot be trusted with a firearm. I'm glad you are perfect.
I am always looking to improve what I do. But Stuff Happens! At least in my world. Apparently not in yours.
I'm done on this subject.
LB,
I tried to inject a little humor to soften the blow in my post (and obviously failed).
I can see having to make that horrible decision and the split second you have to decide if you can safely retain the gun or wether you're GOING to get shot if you don't let it go. None of us were there. none of us KNOW. The established training is: "Be careful, be thoughtful, suck it in and HOLD ON TO THE GUN". We all get comfortable, we all get involved, sometimes it's stories like yours that serve as a reminder to everyone else that they too could run into this. If it helps others to stop, think, and procede deliberately, I'd chalk that up as a good thing.
I almost edited my original post to add the above. Oh well, Kharma is a real pain. By heaping it on you I've made my chances of a firearms fall more likely I bet. Time to step real carefully
It would be interesting to note that we have two stories being commented on in this thread ... The Deer hunter sight in where he almost shot his buddy and yours.
