They should hire me, I've never had an accidental discharge well, there was that time at the drive in movie, but no one was injured denny An accidental discharge is very, very much like a gear up landing. There are those that have had them and those that will. Several years ago when I was very active in shooting sports I read a report that somewhere around 20% of all rounds fired by police officers were ADs. This includes everything from ADs during cleaning the gun to rounds fired in the general direction of suspects when the firing officer didn't really mean to fire. |

Bertie I've flown it many times on MSFS and according to one poster on here that is all the training one needs. |

Where I grew up, most of my friends had firearms for hunting and target shooting. The ones that had accidental discharges were the same ones that eventually ended up shooting someone or something by accident.

You just assume the thing is always loaded. always. You open it up and lok inside the chamber, and it's clear. and there is nothing in the magazine. You close it up, and.it's loaded! Bertie |

" CHARLOTTE, N.C.-- A gun carried by a US Airways pilot accidentally discharged during a flight from Denver to Charlotte Saturday, according to a statement released by the airline...." Oh that's interesting. I have a friend who opted in to that program. Be interesting to hear what he thinks about this! Well he obviously had un-holstered it to point it at a terrorist who was smashing his way into the cockpit! In this case it was obviously in the pilot's mind and he needs a reality check. Why don't the airlines consider disabling terrorists by depressurizing ? Knock everone out, tie up the bad guys and repressurize? Cheers Lawyers! :-) -- Dudley Henriques |

Bertie The fundamental rules for safe gun handling a 1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances. 2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger. 3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety, and, if the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition. If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does. Bottom line -- only point it at things you don't mind killing. Dan Mc |

Exactly. of course, you're determined to kill the whole planet anyway, so presumably you're exempt form the above Bertie |
