My dad was loading his 270 from the passenger side of his truck opening morning. Had one in the chamber and then push a clip into the bottom and the gun fired. Direct hit into the drivers side headrest where the bullet came apart and hit several different locations inside his truck somewhat near the headrest. Be careful out there and remember to treat a gun like it is always loaded and ready to fire. I will post pics as soon as I get some.

Glad no tragedy. Sounds like gun has problem (unsafe trigger). Was he using truck as blind? (rule#3- keep gun unloaded till READY to use). As mentioned, good thing #1 was observed (kinda)....

The hind plate release is in the trigger gaurd... Didn't clear his firearm, luckily no injuries. Valuable lesson and great reminder

Sounds a little foggy, what is a hind plate and why do you have to push a realease for it to put a magazine in? What gun? Was it a malfunction? or did someone have a finger in the trigger guard of a loaded not on safety gun when they were trying to put the magazine in?

Was it a Ford, chevy or Dodge? Might have been a justifiable shooting.
All kidding aside, glad no one was hurt!

My cousin killed his transmission with one of those infamous model 700 misfires.

More shooting related accidents happen when hunters are around vehicles, than when they are in the woods hunting.
Not once have I heard of a hunter accidentally shooting their deer stand. Vehicles, transmissions, and engine blocks are another matter.

Why was his rifle loaded in the first place?? Once you are done hunting, clear out the chamber. Keep the rounds in the magazine if you want, but clear out the round in the chamber. There is no reason to have a round in the chamber at that point.

I usually chamber a round on the walk to the blind in the afternoons and back from the blind in the mornings. Never know when your going to see what your looking for.

I had my first AD on Sunday -- and in a box blind. I fired at a buck under the feeder. I believe in not "admiring the shot" so I quickly reloaded. As I brought my hand off the bolt handle, my longest finger snagged the trigger and "kaboom"!
