In one of those S&W .500 Magnum clips, the woman was given a revolver that was fully loaded, and the first shot so startled her that she fired a second shot that almost hit her in the leg.
And it can happen to guys, too.
If someone knows guns and then gives one to an improperly trained person and they shoot you in the face then you deserve it.
I taught a girl to shoot a .45 pistol once - I wrapped my arms around her and held her hands around the pistol so tight there was no way it was going to go flying.
Her friend, who was there with her husband, started yelling at him that he should have done the same thing- when she shot it for the first time the thing went flying out of her hands.
I made my daughter practice with unloaded weapons over and over how to keep them pointed in a safe direction and finger off the trigger.
I cringe when I see a news-idiot on TV talking about gun control and the first thing they do when handed a pistol is put their finger on the trigger (that’s where it goes, right?)... I keep waiting for them to take out the cameraman.
Ouch!
