Never had an AD thankfully but I've seen quite a few in the Army. Usually at a clearing barrel when someone forgets to drop the mag.

Never in my 20 years of weapons handling.

Never in my 43 years of handling weapons.

Must of been about 8th grade while doing a little couch surfing with little Suzy. Oh wait, I think youre talking about something else.... Never had a gun go off unexpectedly.

Not really sure there is such a thing as an accidental discharge....negligent discharge is probably the more accurate term. Thankfully I've never had one.

Isn't it like riding a bike, those that have and those that will.

Never had one yet and don't INTEND to,

Most of the time that's true. I can't say that it always is, though.

I haven't had one yet. I have had 2 close encounters with someone else's AD/ND though.

Was rabbit hunting with my uncle, dad, cousin. Walk through the woods didn't see anything got to the other side and I noticed my uncle had his shotgun with the hammer back. I said give the gun to me so I could deco I the hammer, the darn gun had a hare trigger. Had the butt between my legs about nut high and the 12 ga went off, a lot of nasty words came out my dad stated laughing made me mad threw uncles gun in a pile of brush and a darn rabbit ran out. It was a good day still have my nuts.

Tuning my GP100 trigger with a whole lot of overkill on a spring - coupled with BAD trigger discipline on my part.

We were shooting steel at 75 yds, single action. When I swung the barrel across the 25/50 yd silhouette steel and tightened up my grip - with my finger already on the trigger. Nicked the 25 yd steel which was 30 degrees off from the intended target. It only took about 3-4 seconds for the others to realize that it was an ND, because we were all shooting the other target.

Majorly embarrassing for "Mr. Safety" who constantly rode others about safety. Obviously, there was a spring change and I learned a lesson of humble pie at 60 years old - after shooting since I was youngster.

None yet.

If I did, and I'm not saying yes or no, I wouldn't post it. As has been stated before no matter how cautious you are it will happen to you sooner or later.

Have owned a few Remington 700s over the years. The one that went bang when the safety was disengaged at least was on the bags pointed at the Berm

t at Garland Public Range I had a 30 round mag empty on me. They just ended a cease fire and I was talking to the guy next to me about my Colt SP1. I grabbed the buffer tube with my right hand and hit the slide release with my left hand and all heck broke loose. 30 rounds gone in a few seconds. RO's we're going crazy and I was just standing there with my jaw on the floor. Got kicked out that day

That's not cool. Just because someone has dude and lady parts is no reason to point a rifle at them.

Back on topic...I've never had an AD with a firearm, but I've been next to three people who did. I have, however, accidentally bumped the trigger on my bow release while drawing with no arrow. That one cost me two cams, string and cables, and two limbs.

Yep, one with a Rem 700 and next to one with a Rem Model 7. This was before we all heard about Remingtons trigger troubles. The 700 is gone, and the Model 7 now wears a Rifle Basix trigger. Thankfully, both were pointed downrange, but I still had to change my drawers !

Grizz, you can't pick on moderator typos. They have more editing power than we do.

We do, just thought I better correct the typo, didn't want to offend a Grizz

I had a MAK90 mostly unassembled sound off. Buttstock, dust cover, mag, and spring where off/out of the rifle. The trigger was pulled while the rifle was pointing at the garage floor. I never kept that rifle loaded at home. Ever. Strange and dumb. It was an incident not an accident. Completely avoidable.

Dang it! Now my joke doesn't make any sense.

First, and only, so far. About ten years old, with my fingertip laid over the muzzle of a crosman 788 bb scout. There were probably over 20 pumps in the thing, watching t.v. and something startled me, and I shot myself in the finger. Oh how i cried and cried and cried, as my grandma pried on the bb in my finger with a sewing needle and a pair of tweezers

Mine was also with a Security Six. It happened 35 years ago. I thought I had dumped all the rounds out. One stuck in the cylinder and I shot out my TV while watching Hill Street Blues. The TV stopped the bullet. My dad ran into the room and saw that I hadn't shot myself. He then looked at the TV and asked, "did you hit what you were aiming at?" I was 16 and have been a firearms safety fanatic ever since. It was a stupid, stupid mistake.

Yep. It totally changes your outlook in safety. It has for me.

When I was about 8 or 9 my dad and I were squirrel hunting when something made me believe there was a problem with my 22 rifle. We sat down so dad could look at the gun. Somehow I managed to pull the trigger, the gun goes "click" and dad like to have had a heart attack. The rifle was pointed in his direction but the rifle did not fire. The pin hit the rim of the shell....that was the only shell in the box that did not fire when it was supposed to.
