    My dad did this at least once. It was sometime before '91, still in IL. He blew a hole in the wall with his .38 and it was stopped by this framed engraving thing made of ivory or something. There were also a couple holes in the ceiling of the same room, but I don't know or remember if they were from gunshots.

    We had a guy ND a 590 when i was in the Corps. Same problem, dirty bolt, stuck firing pin, slam fire. Nearly took off a buddy's head. Blew a nice buckshot hole in a chalkboard at a sentry post.
    Buddy walked with nothing but powder burns to his face. The guy screwing around with his shotgun while on duty......:facepalm: OTH discharge.
    It wasn't the first time he'd been a tool.

    I did once when I was a kid. Fixing a friend's .22, cycled it several times and visually inspected the chamber.

    Closed it one last time, dry fired it once to try it out, and *bang* through my room's windowsill.

    Thank God for old farmhouses with thick walls.

    I told my mom about it a few years later - after I'd moved out.

    To this day, I do not like tubular magazines.

    I know a guy that was cleaning his muzzleloader and it went off. The sabot went completely through his wifes most valuable possesion....her yappy poodle mix. He couldnt tell her what happened so he cleaned the crime scene and placed the dog in the street and ran over it. When she came home, she "discovered" it. She was very upset but had a very loving husband that held her and comforted her while she mourned.

    That sounds more like "solving the problem" than an accident. I'd wager "it went off" when he aimed it at the poodle, exhaled slightly and sqeeeeeeeeezed......

    Meh...I would just tell her. Nobody has asked this yet but how old is your son? If young you just taught him a poor lesson if old then he already should know right from wrong and it's ok for dad's and their sons to have secrets that they don't tell mom about, but if he's young it could come back to bite you in the *** someday when he hides something from you.....just food for thought.

    Can't say I have ever shought a bullet through a wall but between my dad brother and I we have shot several arrows through walls over the years, guess that's what happens when you have a make shift indoor shooting range for bow.

    What about if you accidentally fired the shot in front of your wife?

    A friend of mine did this the other day. Fortunately nobody was hurt and it was a lesson learned in safety.

    I wouldn't even patch the hole. I'd find something of hers that fit the new hole (like a curling iron) and stick it in there.
    Then I'd grill her for an explanation of exactly what happened. When she appeared baffled, I'd quickly throw my hands in the air and walk away shaking my head and muttering something about "pure friggin magic."

    I'm just lazy like that. :cool:
    Made me laugh out loud.

    OK I thought the curling iron idea was funny, but this is funnier. (At least in my warped sense of humor.)

    Oh and my answer is three words. Deny, deny deny.

    However, the kid knows and that will never do. You need to send him to some sort of boarding school ASAP.
    I've come to the conclusion that in order to keep a secret you should tell no one but your very best friend that you can trust and no one else. Then secondly you should shoot your friend dead. This because most people have to tell at least on person their business, but the reality is no matter how good a friend things leak and the only way to really keep a secret is to not tell anyone.


    Now to all the people who take life too seriously, of course I'm kidding! By the way, if you are taking my words seriously, I have a secret to tell you.......
