My guess is it barely scraped him tho it could be worse of course.

I carry a little .22 auto in my front pocket nearly every day. I have checked carefully and it always points slightly to the rear of straight out to the side. If it went off, it would not hit me.

I also keep a .22 shot cartridge as the first round in the chamber. It is perfect for snakes, rats etc. If I want to shoot something heavier I simply rack the slide.

Impossible. The Glock has a safe action trigger.

Nothing bad will happen as long as your actions are safe.

“operate a can opener...”

Electric or GI surplus can opener?

Such differences are important, and we wouldn’t want Mr. HalfA$$ to have a cut finger, too.

Some 'experts' might disagree!

He could get a Purple Heart like John F’n Kerry (who served in Viet Nam).

Really? I hadn't heard.
