Hi everyone,

Have any of you got some amusing stories of negligent discharges?

Post them here.....

Can't say that I have ever found negligent discharges with firearms in any way funny, I daresay most ex and serving guys/girls will say the same. Now negligent dfischarges with the anatomy, there you may have a few stories to be told?

Who would admit on this site to have had one !??
Mine wasn't exactly an N.D. but hurt nonetheless.

Coming off duty one day I was putting my revolver (.357 magnum) in my shoulder holster.
I used a shoulder holster because I found it easier to draw whilst driving.
I failed to pay close attention whilst doing this and failed to notice the black plastic rigid double studded thumb-break enter the trigger guard.
As I pushed the gun into the holster the thumb-break pulled the trigger backwards and BANG !!!!!!

The bullet blew two holes in my chest. Luckily my ribs deflected the bullet so there was no damage inside my chest cavity. I just had two holes about 3 inches apart.
The bullet carried on and went through two mobile walls without hitting anyone else.
My colleague was standing infront of me when it happened. The look on his and my face must have been something to behold !!!

He asked if I wanted to go to hospital. I was scared to look at the wound as I knew I was injured. I was terrified incase I saw a sucking chest wound or arterial bleed !!! Still thinking of covering it up I had a quick look and saw the holes and blood. There wasn't too much blood as the flame had passed through me also.
I decided that it was better to go to hospital. I got into his car and he drove me there. What a considerate get I was!! I even leaned forward in his car so as not to get blood on his seats!!!!!

When we got to hospital the nurse didn't quite see eye to eye with my profession and left me for about 15mins with no pain relief.
I had to ask the bloody doctor when he arrived. He was a funny guy !!!
He placed a pair of tongs through the holes, placed some gauze on the end and said "shall I pull it through???" Funny guy !!
He then cut between the two holes and scrubbed me out with an iodine covered scrubbing brush. God did that hurt. He then gave me eight internal and five external stitches.
Got released that day but took pleuracy two weeks later, that makes a G.S.W. look like a walk in the park !!!!

I never got fined in work as the forensic laboratory replicated my version of events...

I find it funny anyway !!!!!!!

So obviously word gets out. A guy who joined up about the same time as me heard and reportedly fell over laughing when he was told.
About 6 months later guess what ????? Drunk he pulled his revolver out from under a cushion and BANG. He shot through the palm of his left hand blowing a tendon out !!!

I met him at a mates wedding about 6 weeks later. We just stood about 30feet away laughing at each other !!!!

Priceless !!!!!

goreD.Consider it done.
Wholley.

I'm just going to put a lock on this for a couple of hours while the Jedi detectives do a bit of keyhole surgery of their own.

This is a open apology to goreD.
He has not asked me to post this,but I will anyway.
If I was'nt as dumb as a stump I would have checked his profile before going off at him.My only defense is the amount of Knobbers that have been around recently.If you did'nt see my post,good.If you did then I totally withdraw it.
Wholley.

No such thing as a funny ND.
I had a good friend killed by one, not funny and anybody who has one gets one brutal beating before they get charged.

It used to be called "Accidental Dishcharge", They changed it to ND,[when I can't remember]. They reckoned it was negligence not an accident.

Ha Ha !!

I think I came second or third, I seem to remember that a Para won.

Do you not have any funny ones? Did the guy who blew his toe off whilst watching a western lying down not work near you?

Here's a good one,

A mate of mine years ago was clearing a Ruger rifle. The barrel was pointed into the back of an armoured Sierra.
BANG !!! One round through the floor.
Scrubbed the carpet a bit so the whole couldn't be seen and said nothing.
Problem being that the carpet kept on getting wet when it rained !!

M.T. Fixed it.....

I saw a guy let loose a couple of rounds of .50 cal inside a hanger once.

Netted himself a decent $5000 fine
