I called my parents..............what?

He's a big man for putting that up.

I'm not sure what he is for calling his parents before 911, but...

OK, I don't want to ridicule the guy but I have to disagree with one thing: Things don't just happen.

There was an unusual mix of circumstances here (not the least of which was using a holster with a retention device located approximately where a 1911 safety is) but nevertheless, at least two of the Four Rules were broken.

Rule 2- Never let the muzzle cover anything you don't want to destroy.

Rule 3- Keep your finger off the trigger until the sights are on target.

How he arrived there was unusual, and it may not have been through crass recklessness, but he did.

This also follows with the observation that one pretty much has to break two of the four rules to cause injury.

And thank you for putting this up because it made me realize the need to make sure I have two IBDs (Israeli Battle Dressing) with my range gear. One fit entrance wounds and one for exit wounds. As shown, they aren't always located close enough for one IBD to catch.

Yeah, the swiss cheese analogy works nearly every time...the more layers of protection, the less likely all the holes are to line up and lead to an injury.

Good of him to show the world 'though.
