Somehow, I knew it'd be a pistol-grip-only Mossberg before I even clicked the link.

Paul Howe told me about one of his guys getting pretty much the same injury from letting a breeching gun hang on the sling, safety off, round in the chamber. This can happen to even really squared away dudes.

Absolutely. I meet a guy who did similar to his foot. Birdshot at near-contact distance. I don't know him well, but didn't seem like a dope. And I'm certain he grew up with guns. To the guys making wisecracks: have you ever locked your keys in your car? Every one of us is fully capable of making a dumb split-second mistake. I read as many of these stories as I can. There are always lessons to be learned, and its a reminder that these incidents do happen.

I didn't go look at the pics. I've had quite enough bones-hanging-out-of-the-leg in my life already, thankyouverymuch.

Cannot agree more.

There's a long discussion on arf about this with the guy himself chiming in.
