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

Fall
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!)

The only purpose of a gun is to kill or maim, so this isn’t even an accident, well done! At least it was just yourself and not someone else.
