I read an instance similar to this on the Kel-Tec Owner's Group forum. A guy was practicing dry firing his P3-AT in the kitchen. He had a target taped on the oven door. Guess what? Somehow a loaded round found its way into the chamber and he shot the stove!!! Luckily, the wife and kids were not hurt.
And then the ass makes it into a big joke; like the wife needed a new oven anyway, and she didn't threaten to divorce me, so I got away cheap. Some guys just never learn.

Jeez, that's one lucky mf that he can recover from that wound. A few rch's either way and it could have hit the big artery and he could've bled out by the time emt's reached him. I've known quite a few guys who've shot themselves in the leg or in their ass while practicing a quickdraw with a loaded weapon and it was 50/50 as to who would lose a leg or just die.

I have on three occasions in my life been handed hand guns that the "hadi" assured me it was "unloaded" and when as is my 100% of the time practice instantly checked the firearm to insure this as true, found them indeed "Loaded".
I have also had this happen once with a rifle. You must aso be 100% dilligent when getting back "loaned out" weapons, although I no longer loan out any of my firearms except to two people I trust compleatly. I once allowed a friend to shoot my .338wm while at the range. He wanted to see if he could tollerate the recoil before he bought a rifle in that caliber. Im sure he felt sure he was doing me a favor when he placed my M700 back in its hard sided case. But as is my policy as soon as i bcame awere of this i instantly opened it up and checked the rifle, over his increasingly load protests of do you think Im an idiot that i would place a loaded rifle back i its case? well low and behold there was still one round left in the detachable mag. He was at a loss for how it could have happened.
As a matter of proper firearm handeling safety I have always handed back any firearm to anyone with the action open or in a otherwise impossable to discharge state where you could visually inspect the chamber to see it was empty, cylider out, slide locked open, bolt open, action broke open, ets
