Pulled back the slide. THe gun went off with the eject port open.
A part of the exploded shell casing flew out the eject port (in pieces)
On examination I found that the fireing pin was defective. it was
hitting the primer when the slide was released without pulling the trigger.
I took it to a gunsmith. Moral of the story check your gun for mechanical defects
and don't assume anything. I was neglient for not checking a used gun before firing.

My guns are always loaded. An unloaded gun is pretty useless. Like a car out of gas.

I rely on my guns to keep my family and and seek safe. Failure when needed could be disastrous, I also stake my life on my cars mechanical condition.

I'm not sure where these rules come from, but I have some suspicions Mr. Fudd may have had something to do with it. They obviously didn't come from anyone self defense orientated.
