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

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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, I dropped a box from my dad's attic and blew a hole in my foot. I now have 3 toes missing because dad forgot he once wrestled a gun away from some kid trying to steal his wallet, meant to give it to the police, but kept forgetting, and it wound up in the attic for 11 years until today. FML

Today, while showing off the sharpness of my new katana, I missed my target and hit my shoe. The strike cut into the second toe of my right foot, which then had to be amputated. Demonstration successful. FML

Today, I was on autopilot, walking out of the bathroom, and separated my pinky toe from the rest of my toes over the door frame. I dropped to the ground in pain, and my toe and half my foot still hurts hours later. FML

Today, I dropped my suitcase on my toe. Don't worry, it was already broken. 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 had a narrow escape with a nailgun that nailed my workboot to the floor but luckily missed my foot. After I calmed down and changed boots I returned to the nailgun, started working again and barely 30 seconds later I managed to nail my thumb to a piece of wood. Man, I'm bad at my job. FML

Take it back. You're very lucky your AD (accidental discharge) ONLY cost you two toes. You or a loved one could have easily been killed. Return it and get a can of mace. You're not firearms material.

Safety should always be on unless you're ready to fire. The second you're done firing (at a range or in defense) even before it's set back down, the safety is back on. If all this was properly done and it was an accident, I'm sorry OP. That blows! (off toes!)

maybe take more training... or if you are truly clumsy don't own a gun. also maybe dont keep it loaded without the safety on. some people simply should not own guns. I love guns, but my hands spasm and I tend to drop thing or break things by my hands closing, not often but i dont trust it to not happen at a bad time. so i just go to a range with a spotter. if it's for defences, get a dog or mace, or paintball gun and unattached hopper of mace balls.

What did you do, buy a pistol from the 1960s or something? A brand new, modern gun shouldn't simply fire from dropping it. And how the heck did it blow your toes off from hitting the floor? That would mean it was firing DOWNWARD.....which is a bit odd if it's already on the ground. This sounds like some lame attempt at showing you're actually anti-gun.

I mean, unless she dropped it, tried to catch it by the trigger, it was pointed at her toes, and it was a light trigger... but she didn't say that and that's hard to believe.

Every pistol made in the last several decades are drop safe, they're specifically designed to NOT fire if dropped. Also if you blasted off two of your toes TODAY, shouldn't you still be in the hospital?

Apparently the certification class didn't take.

Americans and guns, I'll never understand...Ah! I actually know a joke. Do you know who are the best lawyers in America? Smith & Wesson. Thank you. (But seriously, take it back. If you're already a danger to yourself...)
