Gun control

Today, I took my 15-year-old daughter to our local shooting range for her birthday, as she requested. While she was setting up a target in front of me, I jokingly pulled the trigger and shouted, "Think Fast!" not realizing that the safety was off. I shot my daughter in the arm on her birthday. FML

Today, I was at my friend's house. We were looking at her dad's guns, and I was explaining gun safety and how you should never put your finger on the trigger. I then shot a hole in the floor of her house. FML

Today, my aunt asked to see my new airsoft pistol. Not thinking anything of it, I handed it to her. She shot me in the leg. I was standing next to her. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's parents. Her dad showed me his gun collection, and said the first rule of gun safety is never to point a gun at something you don't intend to kill. All while waving a handgun in my direction and glaring at me with barely suppressed rage. FML

Today, I took my 15 year old daughter driving. I yelled at her for not going safely around corners. On the way home, while demonstrating how to drive right, I went around a corner and hit a cement truck. FML

Today, while I was pulling weeds, my dad thought it would be absolutely hilarious to yell "Hey, son!" then unload his gun at me when I turned around. After I'd screamed like a bitch and pissed myself, he broke down into hysterical laughter and said he'd loaded the gun with blanks. Fuck you, dad. FML

Today, I had to take my 15-year-old daughter to remove the handcuffs her father had placed on her as a joke. He didn't know they were real. FML

Today, our 9 year-old son managed to shoot himself in the gut with my nail gun. According to my wife, this is completely my fault, because I ONLY kept it in my locked garage, ONLY secured in its box, ONLY completely disconnected from the power, ONLY on the highest shelf near the roof. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I went shooting. While I was showing him how to properly hold and adjust a rifle, he accidentally pulled the trigger. The gun kicked back and hit me in the face, breaking my nose. FML

I thought an elemental part of gun safety was to never point it at anyone, even in jest?

It is. Even when I was a kid, I had two things drilled into me before I even picked up a rifle or shotgun for hunting purposes: 1. Never point a gun at something you don't mean to shoot, whether it's loaded or not. 2. The moment you take your eyes off of a firearm, IT LOADS ITSELF. The second may have been more mental conditioning, but it's reflex to check any gun handed to me, even if someone else says, "Oh, it's unloaded." Because it's only unloaded when I see it's unloaded. I hope your SO took you to the cleaners in the divorce.

Clearly you forgot the 3 gun safety rules: ALWAYS KEEP THE GUN POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION, always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot, always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. You're a moron

Personally I actually think that your family should have you declared incompetent to own a firearm and have your guns taken away from you. Nobody who has the neccessary respect for a gun would even consider playing such a prank, even with an unloaded gun. Please either sell your guns or go for beginners gun safety training.

Terry Kath was that cocky, as well. Terry Kath forgot to check the chamber. Terry Kath is now dead. Your daughter is lucky the wound wasn't fatal, but very unlucky when it comes to at least one of her parents. I'd be very surprised if she's forgiven you.
