"Potential dangers of owning a gun"...... how about potential danger of improper handling of a loaded firearm, and pointing it in an unsafe direction.

Darwinism at its finest.

 

[Knob Creek]

Impossible. As we know, you must first unload the gun to clean it.

Journalism fail ! Gun safety fail. HEY PRESS, it's not the objects fault !

You notice that nobuddy ever has a AD with a clean gun? Jack.

Jack, what is this "Clean" thing you talk about?

The man is damn lucky that it was 9mm and not a .40.

The accidental discharge of the firearm took place while the man was cleaning his 9mm handgun.

This is why I never clean my guns.

Someone needs to market the self cleaning gun, it would use cleaning rounds with tiny bristles sticking out of the jacket. Then the headline would read "gun cleaned while man shoots himself in the gut."

I thought Glocks self-cleaned, not true?

Well, I assume that he was cleaning a dirty gun. Jack.

When I was born'd in Buff'lo, there was a cop a few houses up the street. One day he's cleaning his service revolver. Daughter is there. He is explaining gun safety. "And never do this with a gun, even an unloaded gun." He put the revolver to his temple and had the expected results.

1969 or so.

I don't even walk around with my finger on the screw-gun trigger for crying out loud!

 

[Rob Boudrie]

Upon arrival, officers found the man conscious and alert in the driveway of his residence.

Hopefully he locked his door and told the police permission to enter or search was not granted.

I just toss my glocks (loaded or not) in the dishwasher, spray on some WD40 after and back to the range.

R. Lee Ermey himself told me that you don't need to clean a Glock.

(True Story ^)

"This incident should serve as a very important reminder to everyone of both the responsibility and potential dangers associated with owning and maintaining a firearm. We are happy that this story didn't have a more tragic ending and wish this gentleman a speedy and successful recovery,” Chief Brian P. Levesque said

You know - this is a true statement. But it just sounds so damn fatuous that you want to flip him off.

I mean, think of it. I've quoted to more than one person "THE FOUR RULES OF GUN SAFETY". That's responsibility and (how to avoid) potential danger...

The resident is known to police, and he does not have a license to own or carry firearms, police said.

Generally, "known to police" = criminal/scumbag/DCF family. And no permit. Sounds like an instance of PSGWSP to me.

R. Lee Ermey himself told me that you don't need to clean a Glock.

I'm betting you could go a fairly long time without cleaning a Glock. Maybe a few thousand rounds. Spray it down with CLP of some sort in a spray can every so often to keep the rails cleaned. Otherwise, I bet it would just keep running and running and running.

Wait a minute. I thought unloading it beforehand was an optional step?

I thought I was the only one who did this?

In my Samsung dishwasher there is an area in the left corner called "Storm Wash" used for heavy cleaning so I use this to wash up to four handguns along with whatever dishes I have. And to ensure they get a good, thorough cleaning I pour Hoppe's 9 under the cap where you would normally pour Jet-Dry. When it finishes in about 3 hours, the guns are clean and my dishes smell awesome!

Do you do this with the guns loaded so that the ammo get's clean too? Jack.

Absolutely!

If he was stupid enough to shoot himself, I doubt he denied permission to enter.

I just throw my guns in a bucket of acid. They come out really clean. Sometimes they disappear so I buy a new gun which comes already clean.
