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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I saw a gun on my dad's bedside table. I knew it wasn't real, so I picked it up and posed like a badass. Then I shot a hole in their bedroom TV, blew out my eardrums, and my mom flew in and started screaming at me. FML
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 went shooting with my dad and he brought his grandfather's rifle with him. I’ve never shot it before and he told me to be careful with it. The bullet exploded, ruptured the barrel, cut my face, and made me deaf in one ear. Dad still blamed me for “not shooting it properly.” FML
Today, my girlfriend called me an "obsessive weirdo" for always checking the chamber on my handgun whenever I pick it up. The last time I let her touch it, she mishandled it and shot a hole in the floor. Glad she's learned her lesson. FML
Today, I went to the gun range for a birthday and got shot in the foot by my mom. 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, while sitting in a waiting room, a man assured me, "The safety's on" after he handed his kid his BB gun. A minute later, I practically had a hole in my foot. 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
Today, my neighbor brought a ruined napkin holder over and claimed that we drilled a hole through his wall and ruined it. I apologized, not telling him that it was actually a bullet that my boyfriend shot through the wall. FML
Today, I was showing my friend's dad an airsoft gun I was hoping he would be interested in buying. It's a pistol worth about 90 bucks. In the midst of showing him, I thought it would be funny to do a fake, upwards "pistol whip". The mag ended up flying out full speed and hitting him in the eye. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You shouldn't be fingering another guy's rods right in front of their own daughters. Accidental discharges will have many negative consequences.

This whole scenario is wrong on so many levels. At least it was only the floor, however.

No. Not more than one. It should have said "safety's," as in "safety is." And last time I checked, spost is not a word. Dumbass.

Haha 72, 20 is a painful example of that attitude. It's interesting to see what new words and abbreviations Internet idiots come up with everyday. "Spost" was a new one for me. I really don't understand why people want to look like illiterate idiots to millions of other readers.

YDI! If you're going to practice gun safety, the first step is to clear the chamber with barrel down and fingers nowhere near the the trigger. Do that first step every time, even when you know the weapon is unloaded, and you will never have an "accident".

so it literally backfired.
LilaBear 2
pretty sure the gun did not actually "backfire".

I am so glad I taught my kids proper gun handling techniques, and to NEVER point it at anyone, and to always make sure the gun is unloaded before pulling the trigger(including checking the barrel), and to always make sure the safety is on prior to storing it or putting it down. Of course I also have trigger locks on all my guns as well, just as an extra safety precaution

ok so I agree with most of that except...if someone breaks into your house and is threatening your kids, are you going to have to say, "hold on a minute while I unlock my gun and load it..." a locked, unloaded gun is more of a safety risk in time of need than a loaded gun carefully stored (such as in a safe requiring a fingerprint scanner, for example).
mike3775 39
No I have a loaded unlocked gun that I keep near me at all times that the kids know about. The only ones(the 16 yr old, and a 13 yr old) who know where it is always kept also know that I check it every day and if it has been moved, hell will come down upon them The other guns are kept under lock and key though

"Hell will come down on them" Unless a bullet goes through you......

I hope you trust your children, or that you have very good security measures. How can you tell whether the guns have been moved? If they take a picture of the area, they can put the gun back with sub-millimeter accuracy. I don't think your eyes are accurate enough to recognize that.

lkd8165 - and there's the problem with America's gun laws, any moron can get his hands on a gun and walk into your house. In Australia gun violence is much, much lower and 99% of gun owners have them for recreational sport, not "self defense" because guns just aren't needed in Australia for self defense.

92 I seriously hope you are kidding. If you look at statistics since guns were banned in Australia- violent crimes, murders, assaults, and many other crime rates increased...

No. 11 says it best.

The father should be locked up since the guns weren't. Allowing kids access to loaded guns is not sensible, reprehensible and indefensible. And some other words that end in "ensible".

I'll never understand how people are dumb enough to accidently let out a shot. Either you figured the safety's on and shot it anyway, which is dumb, OR you pulled the trigger by mistake. I'll NEVER get how one accidently pulls a trigger.

You'd be surprised how sensitive some triggers are, and how dumb some people are.
fthku 13
As a soldier, I fired many types of guns. Haven't ran across a gun that was so sensitive that it could be pulled so easily before you notice. I CAN believe how some people can be so dumb however.
