Have you ever been shot?

[ak keep the second]

took a .22 shotshell load richochet to the face while rapid firing a .22 revolver at a pop can on top of a barrel. +1 for my eye pro.

^this I told him not to, warning it would richochet as i was backing up...i was right. +1 for knowing not to shoot a 55 gallon plastic drum with .22 shotshells. Luckily it was less powerful than a BB gun.

 

[spyshot]

got hit with a richochet when shooting a 45. it lost enough velocity that it bounced off. no blood, no bruise. does that count?

still counting my lucky stars

Took a BB in the forehead during the" White River Wars" of 69' - 70'. It stuck. Tried to dig it out myself, but the blood running down into my eyes stopped that. Had it cut out by a doctor several years later. Calcium or some other bodily element had built up around the BB and it was about the size of a OO buck pellet. Also peppered by shot and hit by .38 wadcutter ricochets while target practice.

shot finger with a .44 mag. deer hunting in 1997.

lessons learned: well do you feel lucky punk ? a .44 mag will take your finger clean off !
kept shooting finger away from trigger until your on target !!!!!!

I'm an LEO in PA. I've been shot at a few times but thank god never hit.

 

[bubajoe]

I've been shot with bb's like all kids. My friend was shot in the leg when he was a kid living in Srilanka.

 

[stormryder]

Took a BB to the forehead when I was a kid.

Took 5.56 round to ACH during IWQ by a Newby.
Needless to say, he was literally THROWN from range @ Atterbury

 

[vwfred69]

been shot several times with a bb gun, and then there was my xd .40 accident to the hand.

I would just like to post a "Thank You" to all of the current and former members of our military as well as the LEO's that have posted they were injured while performing their duties to our country. It is because of the sacrifices of these brave men and women, we can enjoy life as we know it.

+1.

I am deeply indebted to all who serve, and even more so to those who have paid the ultimate price, or been shot in my stead.

A wise old Army Vet told me one time:

"I bled for you to be free and to not have too, now don't **** it up. live a good life and don't forget what we did!"

when he told me that, I had no idea that one day I too would shed blood for my country, and I fully understood in my heart every word he had told me when I was 13 years old.
I can still remember it like it was yesterday. I wish I still had him around to talk too.

Not by myself, but in the field i've been peppered with shot

 

[zombiehunter]

when I was 14 or 15 we were out being hoodlums during Halloween and went out TPing people we knew. One person we knew had a very hateful mother that came out and caught us and warned us to get off her property or we would "be sorry".....

Long story short, I remember hiding behind a tree as I heard the pump of a shotgun being loaded in the night! She gave one last warning and then fired! CRAZY WOMAN!

Later I found out that she fired into the air and it was loaded with rocksalt? (I didn't even know you could load a shell with rocksalt, but I guess you can!)

Regardless, I FELT like I was being shot at....and I never went TPing again!

 

[randyb]

Been peppered several times. A load of 7.5 coming down from the air will sting when it raps your knuckles. I always were shooting glasses because of that. I had a spent .45 MZ bullet come back and tag me in the shin. I was wearing buckskins and it didn't even leave a bruise. My closest encounter of the lead kind was deer hunting and having a slug hit a tree right by my head as I was walking along a ridge! Didn't take long to jump on the other side of the ridge and get out of the woods that day. I am much more careful as a result and hate to hunt public ground where other hunters are during deer season.

[BUCK HINKLE]

I had an AD in 1994 it was an uzi 9mm sear pin broke and i ended up with 10,000 in uninsured med bills to reconstruct my left pinky.. It sucked ....

 

[Suprtek]

Me being diabetic and all I take 3 to 6 shots a day. Oh wait...that's not quite as cool as what you were really talking about is it?

 

[paperboy]

Nope, don't want to either!!!

 

[paperboy]

[Ervin]

shot in the calf, by a friend?, it was a accidental discharge from a CZ 75 9mm, hardball, it burned, walked to ambulance, all gunshots go to University room 9 which is called the Sam Swope room where nobody walks away? it was sore for a couple months. lucky me.
