Handgun forgotten inside oven fires off multiple rounds in Virginia home after overheating

A photo of the charred handgun melted into the steel grates inside the over shows that the barrel was pointed either toward the oven’s glass door or its back.

Dishwasher worked well for a little while. Sani dry had them ready to assemble and oil up. Great after a black powder match. Got caught. Was worse than getting caught drying brass in the oven.

I was told here that you should put your gl*ck in the oven, to soften it up, then it fits your kydex holster better.

Must confess I have several firearms at various locations around the house for PP.
Never & I mean Never have I thought of putting one in the Oven.

You are supposed to do the gun and ammo at different temperatures, everyone knows that.
