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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the gun range for a birthday and got shot in the foot by my mom. FML
Today, my parents thought it would be a great surprise to accidentally shoot me in the leg for my birthday. 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, 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 14 year-old son asked to join my buddies and me at the gun range. The second I finished the safety lecture and handed him a pistol, he started twirling it on his finger (thankfully, it was unloaded). I smacked him in the head and took him home. Now he's moping and sulking like a bitch. 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 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 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, I took my 15 year-old daughter driving. I yelled at her for not going safely around corners. On the way home, while demonstrating how to drive right, I went around a corner and hit a cement truck. FML
Today, while I was pulling weeds, my dad thought it would be absolutely hilarious to yell "Hey, son!" then unload his gun at me when I turned around. After I'd screamed like a bitch and pissed myself, he broke down into hysterical laughter and said he'd loaded the gun with blanks. Fuck you, dad. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I thought an elemental part of gun safety was to never point it at anyone, even in jest?

It is. Even when I was a kid, I had two things drilled into me before I even picked up a rifle or shotgun for hunting purposes: 1. Never point a gun at something you don't mean to shoot, whether it's loaded or not. 2. The moment you take your eyes off of a firearm, IT LOADS ITSELF. The second may have been more mental conditioning, but it's reflex to check any gun handed to me, even if someone else says, "Oh, it's unloaded." Because it's only unloaded when I see it's unloaded. I hope your SO took you to the cleaners in the divorce.

Clearly you forgot the 3 gun safety rules: ALWAYS KEEP THE GUN POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION, always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot, always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. You're a moron

Why would you even play around with a gun like that? Sorry to say it’s people like you who give gun owners a bad name. This isn’t even funny you could of killed her. Your 15 ur old has more sense then you

Personally I actually think that your family should have you declared incompetent to own a firearm and have your guns taken away from you. Nobody who has the neccessary respect for a gun would even consider playing such a prank, even with an unloaded gun. Please either sell your guns or go for beginners gun safety training.

Terry Kath was that cocky, as well. Terry Kath forgot to check the chamber. Terry Kath is now dead. Your daughter is lucky the wound wasn't fatal, but very unlucky when it comes to at least one of her parents. I'd be very surprised if she's forgiven you.
