I had a ruger LCR357 discharge through my left hand. I did not have my fingers in the trigger guard or on the trigger

I thought only Glocks were capable of discharging without its trigger being pulled.

ouch. had to have pulled the trigger.

Oh fuuuu.....

If I did that to myself I'd sell all my guns and take up, whatever was left that I could still do. I love guns and shooting, but if I mangled myself like that I'd give it up. I've become very careful with guns in my old age. I was lucky in my yoot.

That's gonna leave a mark.

Part of me wants to check it out but I am a bit squeamish when it comes to blood and gross stuff.

[ray1970]

OK. I looked. Wasn't all that graphic..

Oh, wow.

That's awful.

I'm thinking all new gun owners should see this photo and read this man's post about what happened, and the consequences of losing his finger. It certainly provides a very healthy new perspective as to what can happen if you let your guard down for a moment.
