Probably having an issue with ammo feeding. People often fuck up this way because they'll feed ammo in to figure out what's wrong. Had my one and only ND when I was doing the same thing with a .22 that was jamming. Fortunately, the other safety rules made sure it was pointed at the ground away from people when I did it.
As it should be. My bet is he was getting help with the issue up front, the guy stepped away to help someone else, and boom. Either way, guy's an idiot and they need to have better policies about shit like this before someone dies.
Depending on the state, this is very true. In my state you just need a bill of sale and some sort of ownership transfer paperwork. All of which does not need to be notarized and could be done in a parking lot at time of exchange.
Yeah after looking at it closely I can see his finger tuck in and pull back, before pulling it out and resting it on the slide, wish I could edit the title
Pretty much any unintended discharge that is not attributable to mechanical failure is negligent while the weapon in the shooter’s hand. If someone is fucking around with a gun and it goes off, well, it’s on the shooter.
Yeah only time I’ve seen an actual accidental discharge is when my buddy went to put his .22 lr away it dry fired but this is the exact reason you always clear the chamber
There's virtually no other kind. I like to tell the story of how i had an ad once though. I was trying to demo to a friend how my pistol was malfunctioning (falling to fire). However as it was loaded and I was pulling the trigger I had it aimed at a target (not just a "safe direction" I was at an actual range) when it went off unexpectedly it surprised me, but all was safe.
That's a pretty rare edge case example though. Most of the time if it goes bang when you don't want it to it's pure, unadulterated negligence.
There is a longer video, he actually draws and holds at a low ready, not that it really changes anything but dude was ready once he heard that shot, I'll try to find it and link it
There should be a law that if you do that a certain amount of times you lose the right to own a gun. Obviously if you can't be safe you shouldn't have it.
Love how he just keeps on messing with his gun, as if he didnt just accidentally fire it. "If I just pretend like nothing happened, I'm sure no else will notice."
Looking close after a few watches it looks like that's either the round right after a ricochet, or a piece of debris sent flying after being hit by the round.
Yup. I shoot at public ranges fairly frequently. I often bring a thermos of coffee along, which seems to attract one particular RSO like a moth to fire. The things an RSO at a public range sees are just bonkers.

Yeah that’s a ND. Straight up pulls the trigger
Why is he even inserting a magazine if he isn’t on the firing line??

At the rangei go to you can’t handle firearms in the lobby like this. You can only handle them at the firing line on the range

They make rounds for testing feed tho
Us men like shoving things into holes.
Negligent. Take his gun away until he gets recertified. Lucky nobody was hit.
What certification? Where I’m from you don’t even need a permit. Just need to be 21 with no felonies.
"need" is doing some heavy lifting there. Just buy from a private seller and you're ready to go, no ID or background check.

There's no gun registry in Ky. So there is no way to know how many/if any firearms are owned by an individual.
Hey there neighbor to the south.
Yeah, after a closer look I can see it now, just glad he didn't hit anyone.

Still negligent, since he neglected to clear the chamber.
P320 really solidified the difference in accidental vs negligent.

I love the guy behind the counter stepping back and getting ready to pull his weapon
To be fair, he just got shot at.
Not criticizing him at all
Nah, that his gun is completely outside his holster in the last frame. It's just his shirt is black so it's hard to tell.
Which is probably why the video ended right at that moment because the next one was him probably pointing the pistol at the old dude.
I was thinking that too like bro was ready to draw, wish the video went longer. The guy behind the counter, responsible gun owner.
There is a longer video, he actually draws and holds at a low ready, not that it really changes anything but dude was ready once he heard that shot, I'll try to find it and link it
Even in the current clip you can see in the last frames that the weapon is out of the holster.
Draw down and blade at 45 degrees to assert dominance
he actually did pull it
But he has his hearing protection! Safety 1st.
He probably ND’s a lot.

What’s crazy is he doesn’t even acknowledge the other people he just shot at and continues to insert clip
That's the thing that really stuck out to me. "Oh hey, I just discharged this gun. Time to add more bullets!"
"Oh, I didn't mean to fire. Well, no need to stop reloading."
Completely oblivious.
I’ve been shooting longer than you’ve been alive Sonny. Of course I know how to handle my gun.
Sometimes, wisdom does NOT come with age.
The weight did
Aaaaaaand that's a life-time ban.
For the next 6 months
Always a fudd.
I think this is my local shooting range
Hialeah?
Nothing accidental about that.
This nonchalant trigger pulling or "clearing" test by trigger pull is one terrible habit to form.
Definitely not Accidental
What, can we not try before we buy anymore? He's got ear protection and everything! Thought this was America
I'd be backing away from him also. A little quicker tho.
It’s in slow-mo.
Love how he just keeps on messing with his gun, as if he didnt just accidentally fire it. "If I just pretend like nothing happened, I'm sure no else will notice."
negligently* fire it
Yea it’s time to retire his gun access there was zero effort in any sort of gun safety
Ha, one frame caught the projectile where it nearly hit the cashier
Looking close after a few watches it looks like that's either the round right after a ricochet, or a piece of debris sent flying after being hit by the round.

Are they making sure it isn't a pipe bomb?
Ah, another gravy SEAL enjoying his God-given right to be a complete idiot and possibly kill someone.
better stick to revolvers
Man that looks like Florida Gun Range in Hialeah.
Guy behind the counter was taking no prisoners!
“WHHUUOP! My bad guys! Ya okay there champ?! Happens to the best of us amiright??”
nervous_laughter.jpg
Oy Vey!
The clerk slowly looking at him before stepping away like he doesn’t believe what just happened.
cashier didn’t even flinch, just cast a gaze across the table.
A nation of irresponsible gun owners.
what a stupid comment
I wonder if there's a news article on this
