[Glock 'em down]

Right??

When I worked at H&H I looked out on the range one day and saw a CLEET certified instructor looking down the barrel of a revolver with his finger squarely on the trigger. This man was teaching a class full of kids (an armed security class from one of the vo-techs around here) that the proper way to check a revolver to make sure the cylinder was clear after a misfire was to LOOK DOWN THE BARREL OF THE GUN AND PULL THE TRIGGER!!!!

Jesus Christ, I still get a pit in my stomach thinking about it. I called that man everything but a white man when I found out what he was doing. Damn near got fired. After he went to Miles' office to ***** about me I taught the class a quick lesson on how not to kill themselves accidentally and went back to the counter.

The couple of guys in the class that had any firearms knowledge thanked me because they had wanted to say something but didn't want to get dinged in class. I couldn't fault them too much -- they were 21, 22 -- and the old man teaching the class was your stereotypical ******* who knows it all.

Sheesh ... That job aged me 100 years ... Lol

As my Dad would have said, 'you won't be able to sit down for a week!'

So. Was the hammer back when the gangbanger was dancing? I looked at it frame by frame and still can't quite tell.

I didn't think so, glad to see I was right. Getting harder to figure out what I think I saw, sometimes, these days.

When I was qualifying for my CCW, I had an unintended discharge with my Glock 19. The Glock was at least pointed downrange, so the instructor said I was OK.

It still scared and embarrassed me, though.

When I took his class in 1985 in Long Beach, California, Massad Ayoob said pretty much the same thing. It has happened to some pretty well-known gun people.

Mine happened when I was about 10 years old. Practicing my fast draw just like my dad, even using his gun belt and 22. Having to hold the belt up with my left hand distracted me enough that I did not completely check the cylinder and shot the TV. Luckily it did not hurt the TV at all.

I was so lucky nobody else was home.
