Obviously a slow news day.
Lessons cost money. Good ones cost lots. -Tony Beets
It's not as bad as the guy suing Glock for not having a traditional external safety on the gun because he shot himself while he was trying to attach a light to it.

It's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.....
You know, if they'd just take their shirts off, then the brass would be unlikely to get trapped and cause burns...
I'm glad no one else was hurt, and her injuries were relatively minor.
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
How would we ever get any shooting in at the range...You know, if they'd just take their shirts off, then the brass would be unlikely to get trapped and cause burns...

I would get off at least one shot.
I'm just happy the round didn't go through her hand and end up in someone else. Inadequate clothing for the range is often overlooked. I can't recall how many times brass has deflected off of the side of a booth at an indoor range and hit me. As someone else already posted, many ranges don't give quality time & instruction to people who are completely ignorant to how firearms work. That's how crap like this happens. All they care about is bringing in the $$$.
I've seen some people trash the NRA Basic Pistol course, but if it's taught properly, it's very informative. If I had more time on my hands, I'd get back into teaching again.
The character of a man can be judged by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
Keep your booger hook off the bang switch
Each time that I've witnessed a women renting a gun from CGC (including me), the guy behind the counter explains about the gun, shows where the safety is, and talks about brass dance. The counter guys then speak with the RO, who also explain once they go back to the range. A problem I've witnessed is that the women that are renting guns either don't take gun safety seriously, or they turn into a combination of a Golden Retriever (SQUIRREL!) and a 'does-this-gun-make-my-butt-and-boobs-look-big?' type. The latter type also wear low-cut tops and heels. I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often, save that the ROs are usually right there as they're shooting. It's an unfortunate thing, but I'm glad there weren't more serious injuries.

How can you be reaching into your shirt, with your open hand, then shoot your upen hand? Without shooting yourself in the chest?
