This is why I always check a weapon 5+ times before I even think about dry firing.

me to, I don't trust myself. Check, then recheck.

When I did my CHL class with "That Guy" (Brian) and Tom Estep, Brian told how he has a habit of loading and unloading (and I believe even holstering/ unholstering) in a particular room of his home where he won't be distracted. I do the same thing now.

I've never had a ND, but if I did the last thing I would do is post the aftermath on the internet.

What got me was this:

The accident was a combination of thinking it was unloaded thinking the safety was on and not being familiar with the sensitivity of this particular trigger. That’s the only way I can rationalize it . . .

He's rationalizing all right. I have a 930 and the trigger is not that sensitive. It's pretty good, but not a "hair trigger" by any stretch of imagination.

Still, what he wrote seems like he learned a valuable lesson. It takes guts to post that on the internet, but maybe someone else will learn from it.

That is the whole point of the Never Again!! forum.

Hopefully, someone reading this will recognize their own flippant firearms handling habits and re-evaluate without having to learn the hard way.

I was speaking directly about the guy in the link. Please do not try to apply my comment any other way. Posting a comment on the never again thread of this forum is a little different than what this guy did. The guy isn't even taking full responsibility for being an idiot. He blames the gun as much as himself. This guys online confession doesn't help gun owners, it just gives more ammunition to the Antis.
You might want to read this thread again as the guy I'm talking about has never posted anything in the Never Again forum.
