When have you come the closest to shooting someone?

Saw a guy at the pawnshop today take a $10, .22 revolver and stick it to the forehead of the guy behind the counter. They were BS'ing before hand and apparently know each other, and the guy behind the counter was moving some guns around in the display case or something.

I just looked at the one guy, with a "Not Amused" look on my face and he made some jokes about cameras and the police might be watching etc.

Stupid people. I really just can't believe he did that. I think I shall contact the store owner about that.

I've actually considered walking into a "joke" situation like that and drawing down on/shooting someone that was only messing around. It scares me. People don't know that I'm carrying a gun, so they would have no reason to suspect that their "Crazy Terrorist at the office" prank could get them killed. Like a Candid Camera nightmare.

Great thread, hand on but never had to draw.

I use to take friends from CA into the AZ desert to shoot on weekends - I always told them to keep a fully loaded magazine at the ready, you never know when some druggie might attempt to bush-whack you....

Be safe, KC

Ok I guess i might sound dumb but, What does Nd stand for? (I keep seeing it from time to time in peoples posts)..

Negligent Discharge.

As opposed to AD for Accidental Discharge.

Some people will argue that an ND is the ONLY one that exists.

I would be one of those people. No such thing as accidents with firearms. Just no room for that.

Only way it could be an AD is if the firearm malfunctions, like a slam fire. Anything involving finger on the trigger or the hammer is an ND.

Right. Or if it's laying n a table loaded w/o anyone within 25' and just goes off by itself. Thankfully, none of that stuff happens very often and as long as you are following the rules of safety then nobody gets hurt.

I saw an SKS slam fire at the range the guy loaded up the mag and let the bolt go(finger off the trigger) and it fire 4 rounds pretty fast. Turns out the firing pin had some old oil or greese and it got stuck and he did not clean it very good so it went full auto so to speak
