I did not clear my gun once. I crapped my pants. Have no idea how I overlooked it. The magazine was out, but I must have got distracted while packing up at the range. Luckily the next person that handled it, a friend of mine, is a military guy and a cop, so his first instinct was to clear it. The round came flying out of the chamber and poop came out of my butt quickly after. That one incident has me paranoid of all guns I handle, mine or others. My SOP is to now leave all actions open when I'm finished at the range, I collect and pack away all my ammo before I pack away the guns. And I re-check all firearms before I put them away, as I usually go to the range with 2-3 different weapons. When I get home, I recheck everything before going back in the safe.

Check the chamber every time you pick up or are handed a firearm. Basic practice, and one of the first things my father and grandfather taught me right after rules 1 and 2.
The beauty of basic gun safety rules is in their simplicity. You have an easy multi-step process to follow where if you fail to do all but one step, you still don't shoot yourself or anybody else. You have to fail to do all of them in order to shoot yourself or someone else.
That is one of the reasons a lot of folks here will say that there are only negligent discharges, never accidental discharges.

What is the problem? Serious question.
I bet if it has an effective loaded chamber indicator, the outcome would have been different.
(End sarcasm)
Every firearm is loaded until you have personally verified otherwise each and every time you pick up the firearm.
This was my Grandfather's rule.
It has kept me safe for more than 30 years, hundreds of thousands of rounds, and hundreds of cleanings.

There were crude comments with sexual innuendos, which I have deleted.
Ahh, I was wondering the same.

I typically don't find more than 30 sec of any Will Ferrell movie funny. It was nice of them to put it all in one clip this time. One less movie I won't have to never get around to seeing.

The gun was loaded and he pulled the trigger, this is not rocket science. How many detectives are they going to assign to this case before they figure out what happened ? When you put a round in the chamber and pull the trigger, the gun goes bang !! That's what it suppose to do ! Next case !!!!

People really still buy into "was cleaning the gun when"?

Glocks require you to pull the trigger before you can field strip. More than a few people have had negligent discharges with Glocks when field stripping. They remove the magazine, somehow forget to clear the chamber (or screw up the order of those two tasks) and then pull the trigger -- boom. Of course, that doesn't explain the added stupidity of pointing it at yourself while pulling the trigger, but, again, he isn't the first to do that either.
