He was previously employed as a gunsmith by Dick's Sporting Goods. First time he'd ever touched a firearm.

"GRAPEVINE (CBSDFW.COM) — A gunsmith working on a rifle accidentally shot himself in the arm at the Bass Pro Shop in Grapevine Tuesday afternoon.
Grapevine police said the employee failed to clear the rifle prior to beginning his work on the weapon when a round fired.

The employee — whose name has not been released — suffered a self-inflicted wound to the arm and has since been transported to Baylor Hospital with non-life threatening injuries."

We know it couldn't have been a 1911 .45.

He would've been vaporized if it were.

Gotta be difficult to shoot yourself in the arm with a rifle....

Would've ripped the whole arm off if it just hit his pinky. It's basically a cannon ball

My wife got a call from the owner of an indoor range one night. He said "...can your husband come to the range..."? His part-time gunsmith had left a Winchester Model 97 on the workbench because he couldn't get it back together and wanted me to get it ready for the customer. There are a lot of pretend gunsmiths out there.

Gunsmithing 101 make sure the weapon has been cleared.

Nope or we would all be shooting ourselves.

This! A real gunsmith has a shop even if @ home & turns away customers.
