They do leave an impression
Tam notes that being witness to a negligent discharge really leaves a mark on your brain. Well, having one yourself, even more so.

Oh, I own at least 25% of that negligent discharge; I can’t just pass it off on somebody else. 😮

Oh, been there myself and been there for others’ as well. I remember each one, it is branded in my head. The one I’ve had myself, I remember every little thing that happened, what my fingers did and how it happened. And that was 16 years ago.

Oh, and mine happened the same way as yours. Lowering the hammer on a live round in the chamber. Just FYI, the 1911 slide will NOT break your thumb when it cycles as some people say it will. To all those that say carrying a 1911 cocked and locked is unsafe, I thumb my ND in your general direction. Lowering the hammer is what is unsafe. Just put the safety on and holster the sucker.

I did the same thing in grad school with a taurus pt92. Went through my mattress and into the hardwood floor.

Yes, a .357 round in the head might just leave a mark on your brain.
NDs: let someone in the next county have one instead.

I was once at a advanced shotgun class and we were doing a building entry. One of the guys in front could not get his 12 guage to pump. He tried and tried then the gun went off in the ground. He had accidenly touched the trigger and the safety was off.
Thankfully he had it pointed in the right direction and nothing was damaged.

I know a guy who had a ND 14 years ago and he’s still paying child support as a result of it.

Sounds like the old tale about the fireworks factory fire. They asked a survivor if it was a new worker that started the fire… The survivor replied, No it was the old ones getting careless….

Two things give me the chills.
About two years ago, my muzzleloader went off without me putting my finger on the trigger. I had closed the bolt, pointed it down range, and flicked the safety off. When the safety went off, it went off. Scary shit. Remington fixed it for me.
The other time was very much an inentional discharge. At the range. Guy two lanes down from us stuck the barrell of a rented .44 Mag Ruger Redhawk in his mouth and blew his brains out. Girls on the lane next to us saw it. Screamed loud. It sucked. Still can’t return to that range.

Uncle, you might be interested tonknow that your ND has been taken as a learning experience for me. The P22 is brought to the basement to clean with a magazine that is never loaded, and is visually inspected prior to insertion, and the weapon is still pointed at a clearing barrel before pulling trigger prior to breakdown.
Same goes for the Glock, except a magazine is not brought to the basement…
