Re: Almost had a ND

I had an ND in 1996 or 97......my first, only, and last one. It was enough to make me more attentive. I put a .44 magnum hole into the ceiling of my bedroom. I discharged the weapon with the muzzle within a few inches of my left ear. My hearing has never been the same since, and my ears have never stopped ringing.

I once started a thread on another forum discussion board which I owned at the time, with a title of something like "C'mon and 'fess up, have you ever had a negligent discharge?" I should have added "of a firearm" at the end of it, because a few of the initial responses ran the gamut from "colorful" to "deleteable". But the thing was, although it wasn't a gun forum (it was a political forum), most of the guys and a few of the women were gun owners, and it was surprising how many had had one ND in their lives. It's also significant that exactly none of them had a second one. The experience is traumatic enough that nobody wants to have another one. And by the way, none of the respondents who had had an ND were women. Men...... How do we survive to adulthood? :mrgreen:
