      Ive done similar with a shooting bag (its a bead filled bag you rest the front of your rifle on). It was my fault, everything that comes out if your gun is your responsibility.

      If he’s a proper gun nut, he’ll find something entirely irrelevant to blame for.

        Anyone who is actually into guns would take that mistake to heart and never make that mistake again.

    What a great opportunity to talk about gun safety and background checks and, oh nevermind.

      No safety rules were violated, miss calculating (or failing to calculate in the first place) proximity to a non-living object is fine as long as you aren’t endangering yourself or others. Lesson learned situation.

      This guy had to be background checked at the gun store before he bought this gun (even if he bought it online).

    You can clearly see the barrel’s angle pointing towards the hood.

      This guy forgot about height over bore. The sites are about 1.5in over the center of the barrel, so from the sites perspective he’s clearly over the hood even if the barrel isn’t lol.

    Can‘t we have a poll on this? It would be nice to see what the community thinks.
