If you cant clear a firearm safely, then you either need to get more training, or leave the damn thing alone and yell for your mom to come do it. I have had three AD not ND.
first was loaded rifle I was handed to unload. Pointed in the air and pushed safety off, the old 700 remys would not let you open bolt with safety on.the thing went off, owner had adjusted his trigger. Second was a 22 semi pistol that was in leather holster that owner had shoved it in loaded and apparently with safety off. Never even got that one to clear leather, again pointed in safe direction. Was told after that it was misfiring and he bought from a guy that had tuned it.Had to fix a small hole in the baseboard. My alltime personal favorite was an early 80 series colt commander that I traded for and I was delighted. Took it to the range and was all set to fire a keeper .set up, racked slide back, insert magazine, drop slide and empty entire mag down range. Owner had done trigger job. Point to the story is , be careful and obey the rules of safety. My favorite is not AD or ND got my hands on an early MAC-10 open bolt .45 32 roung mag or something. I wanted to fire it and had some odd and end hand loaded ammo 185 gr.Loaded 11 or 12 rounds, whatever I had. Iam not sure why my font changed. HELP. anyway the thing ripped off the entire mag. was told later by a friend that it was designed for 230 gr and the 185 gr was short cycleing the action.NOT FUN but i was in the middle of about 3000 acre cotton field muzzle was in the right direction. Made an Impressionable long line in the mud and didnt perforate any thing important.Be safe Be alert and watch that muzzle.!!!!!!!!
