Dumbest thing you have DONE with a gun.

[Cool Hand Luke]

Boone County Sheriff and Gunsite Instructor Ken Campbell says the exact samething.

It's bound to happen someday. You habitually do something everyday, and you are bound to break that habbit someday.

So because 2 people gave an opinion it has to be true for millions on fun owners??? Ludicrous.

I know many people who have been carrying their whole lives and never have had a negligent discharge.

Ludicrous? Nah. If you knew who Sheriff Campbell was, knew his background, you'd understand and show a little respect in what he has to say.

Ludicrous? Hah!

He said that everybody who carries or owns a gun will have atleast 1 negligent discharge in their lifetime. I can prove him wrong. Ive never had one. I only know 2 people who ever have, and I hang out with a bunch of gun nuts and come from a very pro 2nd Amendment family.

So no, I dont respect his opinion on this particular subject because its dead wrong.

 

[lovemachine]

Your opinion of course

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Your opinion of course

No, its actually a FACT that I have never had a negligent discharge, and neither have most of the people I know, which proves your cop friend wrong.

 

[Bunnykid68]

I do not know anyone that has had a ND.

Are you dead yet? No? Then you still have time for your one ND!

Kidding, of course. I'd guess at least some folks go through life without.

All depends on what you would call a ND. I did an accidental double-tap at the range. Let my hands get too tired during a long session, didn't control the recoil well, and hit the trigger a second time completely by "accident". Put a round 5' up the berm. I didn't even finish that magazine. Just cleaned up and went home. Was that a ND? I dunno, but I was furious with myself for letting it happen.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Apparently they all will have atleast one in their life!

Ok nobody is saying you have HAD a ND or an AD.

What my "cop friend" is saying that every day you dont have an ND is just one day closer that you will.

Which means that anything you habitually do everyday, you can get careless and forgetful, and make a mistake. It's going to happen.

The moral? Dont get in a habit. Be careful everytime you do something.

But then again, my "cop friend" is only a popular Sheriff and a Gunsite Instructor. YOU obviously know more than he does.

The only problem I have with what your saying is the claim you are making that everybody will have a negligent discharge sooner or later. Everything else I agree with. I agree that it is easy to become complacent in your habits but you said that everybody will have a negligent discharge which is simply not true.

Actually I used the word "you". I never used the word "everybody"

We both know you meant "you" as in "everybody" unless that cop friend of yours particularly said "Cool Hand Luke from Ingo will have a negligent discharge"

Give up.

 

[lovemachine]

Give up.

NEVER!!

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Woops I was just cleaning my gun and it went off.

Happy now?

 

[groovatron]

I do not know anyone that has had a ND.

Most people won't come out with it. Unless you were there, you'll probably never know. I'm sure you know more than you are aware of.

 

[fahappy]

When I was 16 I had a .38 that rusted pretty badly with the ammunition still in the cylinder. I tried to remove the bullets but when that didnt work, I had the bright idea to see if it would still fire which it did. That would have been fine except when I pulled the trigger the gun was aimed directly at my television. ( I know i was a total dumbass)

 

[ShootinDave]

Reinstalled slide stop spring wrong in G19-carried for about a week before I shot it and discovered slide locked back every round-if there was ever a prize for 'stupid' Iwould have won it

Isn't the Sheriff's statement about ND more like one of those "don't think it won't happen to you" warnings? I don't think we should take it literally as a statistical assertion. I'm glad that Luke and his friends practice good gun safety with good results, but they probably do so because they know an ND could be around the corner if they let up the vigilance. Also, if you mentally prepare for the consequences of a discharge, you are more likely to be aware of where your muzzle is pointing, and you will be safer.

Also, we're getting the statement second or third hand, so let's give it the benefit of the doubt.

Sold some of mine before. I should never sell any of them.
