Re: Today's tip: Don't store loaded gun magazine in oven

Excaliber wrote:Folks have done worse than what happened in this incident and put the whole loaded gun in the oven. NYPD recorded some of these events in their annual firearms discharge reports back in the 90's.

When the oven was subsequently turned on and the round in the chamber cooked off, it discharged at full velocity. In some cases, the gun cycled successfully and subsequent rounds were discharged as well when they cooked off until the slide stopped going into battery.
That makes you wonder how loosely someone has to hold a gun to limp wrist it.
