Ah see, my fiance is an avid gun nut so as long as I’m with him I don’t think I’ll have any problem. Only shot 5 rounds out of a Glock 19 model .9mm but I’d like to get into it a little bit more
Hey cool! I think the Glock 19 is one of the most versatile handguns ever made. Guns can be a lot of fun, just remember the two safety rules: keep your booger hook off the bang switch unless you want to shoot, and don’t do stupid shit with your muzzle. Technically there are more but they are pretty much extensions of those two.

I had a rather high powered air rifle. 1000′ per second / Crossman / with the pointed pellets it would shoot through plywood. I was defending our crop of English walnuts that were being decimated by squirrels. I was double checking the safety when I pulled the trigger which was the same time my son walked out the back door. The pellet hit him in the side at an angle that did not go deep, but it went along for five inches. The pellet is still inside him.
Went to the emergency room, police were involved, a real fun evening.
Wow, that sucks! Glad he wasn’t seriously hurt, some of those air rifles are pretty impressive. A lot different than the crappy old red ryders. Mistakes can happen to anybody, don’t beat yourself up too hard. I bet it won’t happen again!
