willie-pete Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Certainly not anyone I trained. The video isn't too graphic, but he is VERY lucky.I don't know where the footage was filmed, but the other person holding the other gun is going to require first aid also very soon. Video: Man accidentally shoots himself in face at Ohio gun range The man is expected to be OK. www.nbc4i.com " “The video shows that he is shooting a 9mm automatic and when he shot, he ejected the shell and it went right down the back of his shirt. So, because that’s hot … he started to move around and his other hand just came and the gun discharged and (the bullet) went through his cheek and out the top part of his other cheek,” the Geauga County sheriff said.

gwalchmai Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I call it the bear dance. I once had a guy in the booth next to me do it and he shot his buddy in the leg when a case went down his shirt. I know it's not necessary because I once had a hot .22 LR case get behind my glasses. I stood there listening to it sizzle while I laid my Mk II down on the bench and then removed the case. I had an identifiable .22 LR case tattoo under my right eye for a week, but I didn't do the bear dance and I didn't shoot anything or anybody. I've also had to ask women to button their shirts at the range, to protect the puppies. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAKA Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hate when that happens...? I ALWAYS wear shoes with socks, too many guys in "shower shoes" (morons) get burned... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWARREN123 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Another one I have seen is someone stepping on brass and tripping/slipping, so I keep the area around me clear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 On the range and was handed a full auto AR15 left hand to shoot. Shouldered it and squeezed the trigger. Sent a stream of hot brass off the rim of my hat and down the back of my shirt. I clicked the safety on, slammed the gun down on the table and proceeded to dance like a nuthouse star. Have three faint scars from that. Manufacturers rep thank me for not dropping the gun. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MO Fugga Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Caught a .50AE betwixt my hat and shades once. Burnt my eyebrow damn near off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockett Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Good sheriff for suggesting proper training to beginners and BEFORE showing up at the range. If people want to push for "gun control", that's the only one I could agree on. Force every new gun owner to join proper training AND a legal course so he / she knows his / her responsibilities. And not one of those 2 hour cramped conceal carry bullshit courses where you get to shoot just one round. Make them show up for 3 hours on 5 evenings, with at least 50 rounds shot every time.

I've taken friends of mine who were newer shooters to the range. I quit taking "newer shooters" to the range. The last straw was a friend of mine was taking his uncased gun to the table behind the lane to reload. A side note...If you carry, BUY INSURANCE.

tadbart Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I used to take lots of girls shooting, back when poon was worth more than bullets. Would always advise them, with a wink and a smile, not to wear a low-cut shirt, sadly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTDT - had a 9mm case get stuck behind the glasses open end toward my face below my eye at the top of my cheekbone, so there was just a little circle of burn. Looked silly, fortunately didn't hurt cause I don't have much sensation in the nerves in my face. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmax Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 When I was in ROTC my father cautioned me to never accept training NCOs kind offers to make life easier especially to remove our shirts under the hot Oklahoma sun when shooting M1s in rapid fire. 06 brass raises blisters when stuck to your skin when shooting prone. They would hold up those who accepted their offers as stupid maggots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 On several occasions, I've had an ejected piece of hot brass wedge between the lens of my glasses and my face. Yes, it hurts. But, you calmly put the gun down and then deal with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyzz Kydd Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I look good in a cowboy hat, but that’s not why I wear one when competing in Cowboy Action Shooting. I generally have 6 or more pieces of brass in the air at a time when shooting the rifle and I don’t need them going down my shirt. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
