Re: Always wear a hat!!!
Haha, welcome to the club. I had a 9mm casing bounce off the partition, and land in my glasses ON my eyelid. Not fun at all.dude wrote:I was at the Bullet Trap today shooting my XD9 and trying out my new Bersa .380 CC. I had made a conscious decision to not wear a hat, even knowing that I should. I won't make that mistake again.
Everything was going fine, until one of the .380's casings ejected, ricocheted off the lane partition, then fell between my safety glasses and my face. It settled below and to the right of my right eye, at the top of my cheek. The sensation of "oh, that's warm" quickly turned into "AGHHH, THAT'S HOT!!!".
I got it out within 2 seconds, but it left a burn. A hat will now be part of my standard safety equipment when visiting the range, no ifs, ands, or buts.
Any creative cover story ideas for what I can tell people at work on Monday if anybody asks what happened?
