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.

Yep, most guns don't fire without pulling the trigger. But the OP did apparently point the gun in a safe direction, so credit for following one of the three rules (of Jeff Cooper's Four Rules) that applied in that situation.

Today, some idiot friend tried to teach me about gun safety, even though I am an expert marksman. He shot a bullet through the floor, missing my dad's face by mere centimeters. FML.

Your dad was lying on the floor while you had a friend showing you, oh expert marksman, a gun? Why was he on the floor??
ideasrule 13
The OP clearly said the bullet went through the floor. Assuming they weren't in the basement, it could have struck somebody. Also, I'm not the friend in the FML; this was a parody.

Lol! I was totally going to say that when I saw the comment. I was like "why the hell is their dad on the floor?"

its your own fault for not checking to see if there were bullets in the gun. NEVER leave a gun loaded in your house or when not in use.

This reminds me of the time my grandmother shot a hole in her roof with a shotgun.

The correct term for an unloaded gun is, again, paperweight. We can debate the value of already having a round in the pipe versus the distinctive sound of chambering a round in a semi-auto, but a self-defense gun should have bullets in it. Household members should be trained appropriately; for instance the NRA program I discuss in comment 60, Eddie Eagle, seems to be appropriate for even very young children who cannot yet reach the top of the closet or whatever well-thought-out place the gun owning parent selects. As children grow older parents can choose to train them in how guns work and teach them the Four Rules promulgated by Jeff Cooper, showing the importance of practice and training. (Ammo quantity restrictions including high taxes are counterproductive when it comes to gun safety. Most rounds are used in practice; many of us may never fire a shot except at the range. Ironically, point-and-shoot is not a good approach to guns.)

OP, you're seriously an idiot and have no business handling firearms. You ALWAYS assume they're loaded.

You deserved that one you ******' moron, when you stupid americans will understand that guns are not intended for such fat ******* stupid cocksuckers like you, you'll be able to move forward. 'Till that you're useless. Greetings from France
