Dry Firing surprise....

[Bawanna]

Always pays to double or triple check. I've had 3, count em 3 occasions where an officer (twice for the same officer) walked past and was busy after a range session and asked if I'd clean (her twice), (him once) gun. Always anxious for any duty away from a computer I always ablige.
Gun only, no mag, left on my desk. Pickup rack slide, boing, out bounces a cartridge. Momentary heart stop but no permanant damage.
Since we've transitioned to Glocks hence requireing a trigger pull to dissasemble I lock the slide back every single time, not just rack and look. Lock open and inspect. I also check every weapon left on my desk the minute I see it. Trust no one, not even yourself ever. Not even once.

Bawanna, I can't tell you how many times I had a loaded weapon pointed at me in the Corps. Ours would come off the range (mostly rifle shooters were guilty of this) and because they were in a hurry, they got sloppy. We would get grouchy, had one office that was a repeat customer until we put a gun to his head and made him do it right. All that time there was only 1 AD in the armory, and it was from an armorer from down the hall. Both of those are stories for another time, as I have not a whole bunch of that right now, having an officer coming over for an investigation and all.

Glad no one was hurt. The thought of an AD scares the crap out of me. Even at that I know that I could be more careful.
