Default RE: Rifle went off in my hands!!!!!

Don't feel bad. I don't know any hunters or shooters that have not made a safety error. I shot a hole in my neighbors wall (the shell was stuck in the peice even after cycling it several times. I didn't visually check.) My huntin partner shot a hole the roof of his tent trying to get a primer off of a muzzleloader. Fact is we all had our guns in safe directions. Yes property and or merchendise was damaged. But I got the scare of my life along with feeling like an ass.....and no one was hurt. This lesson has stuck with me more than any mantra from Jeff Cooper. And no one was hurt. I am glad you were not hurt, either. And you will never forget the lesson.
AND BTW Jeff Copper said "don't point your firearm at anything you do not wish to destroy." I don't know about you, but I have had a few trucks that deserved to be shot.\
STAY SAFE OUT THERE! THE ANTI GUN WORLD JUDGES US PRETTY SEVERLEY
