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, 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, only a few hours after getting certified and buying my first pistol, I dropped it and blew off two of my toes. FML

Today, me and my girlfriend went paintballing. I made sure we were on the same team, so I could protect her and be manly. The first time she got shot was by me, I shot her finger. It broke. 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

This is why you go through gun safety first.

A foot is better than getting it in the ass any day in my book..

Who brings their mom to the gun range? Anyway, happy birthday, OP.

Ehm, nowhere in the post is it mentioned it is either his or her birthday. Just that both of them were present. Could have been anyone's birthday.

Some people, young and old, male and female, enjoy target practicing with guns. What's wrong with doing what someone enjoys on their birthday? Still, it's ideal not to shoot human beings.

#27 "I went to the gun range for my birthday." Reread the FML

72, YOU reread the FML. It says, "went to the gun range for A birthday." It doesn't specify whose birthday it is.

Gun safety is nothing to joke about. How many ties do you both need to be "TOEd" that?

Guns shouldn't be banned. Even if guns are illegal criminals will still find a way to get them. Us law abiding citizens should be able to protect ourselves and hunt if we want to.

Maybe she does not like you? From my experience with weapons, if you follow safety precautions it is hard to shoot some one unless you want to.

"If". Lots of people don't follow safety procedures.

Sadly there's far too many idiots who fail basic gun safety Treat every firearm as if it is loaded Always point the firearm in a safe direction Keep your infer off the trigger until ready to fire Never point a weapon at something you do not intend to shoot. OPs mother is a ****ing moron who failed every single one f those and OP is lucky he only got shot in the foot due I his mothers utter incompetence.

Easy calling people moron. Guns are dangerous and there is a risk when using one. Add to it a time factor and nerves.such as skeet shooting and youll see ad's happen. Its great to be safety conscous but guns are still dangerous

Some people just shouldn't handle firearms.

I guess I am looking at it another way. The gun is not dangerous when stored, handled and operated correctly. People make fire arms dangerous when they cut corners.
