[HockeyBjj]

How the fuck do you not check that the gun is loaded when you clean it?

Yeah that's pretty unbelievable. Easiest thing in the world to check.

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

cleaning a gun with a bullet in the chamber ?
sound like a bullshit story to me

 

[RockUmSockUm]

These "accidents" always sound fishy. What guy is responsible enough to clean his gun, but not responsible enough to make sure there isn't a round in the chamber before messing with it? You have to clear any bullets before disassembling and cleaning the barrel and breach. More likely someone else shot him and he's covering up for them.

 

[El Chimpo]

fucking idiot

cleaning 101 is take out the clip and make sure theres nothing in the chamber

 

[Bigj383]

Wow talk about bad luck and / or stupidity.

Stupidity, just stupidity. Cleaning a loaded gun is stupid and a 100% preventable injury.

 

[Pixel Fist]

cleaning a loaded gun? fucking hell.

 

[BigGulp]
