Girlfriend Slips On Ice, Shoots Boyfriend While Hunting

 

[MAGA99]

Last time I slipped on ice all I got was a broken ankle. It sucked but I guess I should consider myself lucky!

 

[PL-52]

Only ice my g/f is anywhere near is in her drink, she's not the outdoors below 50 degrees kind. There's no ice in Argentina where she came from. Guess I'm somewhat safe from that incident anyway.

If I could get my girlfriend to go hunting with me I’d consider paying that price.

Depends on if it’s buckshot or a light dove load.

 

[Prepper]

Dang it, no pics. Although the article says she's 21 and named "Sasha", so I'm going to go with not guilty.

Sorry about the dude though.

Theres a lot of guns out there that will go off with a good smack to the stock. especially ones that only block the trigger from falling. Think SKS
Accidents can happen.

 

[Cowgirlup]

If they stay together he can avoid or win a lot of future arguments just by saying "Remember that time you shot me?"

My property is crazy steep toward the top. With all the rain we've gotten, and the wet leaves, I must have slipped and fell a dozen times yesterday while getting to and from the spot I sat. My rifle didn't go off once. Now I'm thinking something must be wrong with it.

 

[76Too]

if it were my girl she'd respond 'but did you die?'

nah...when I hunted, that was good ole boy time. I didn't interfere with her wine weekend getaways with the girls so...stay the christ home darlin'.

After having kids there would be an argument over whether being shot hurt more than giving birth.

Yup. Most all long guns do not have firing pin blocks and can discharge if dropped. They are single-action and have a relatively heavy firing pin or striker.

A lot of gun owners get the willies looking at a cocked 1911 but don’t bat an eyelash at a bolt action rifle.

Any bets that he was cheating on her so she decided to "slip"? How many "friend shoots friend" hunting accidents really aren't accidents?

 

[grizquad]

Not withstanding SAFETY RULES were not followed .............BUT...........NEVER, NEVER let girlfriend or wife behind you with a loaded gun!!!!

 

[Golddiggie]

Then she replies "Remember how much it hurt?? Do you want a refresher??"

 

[snax]

Her last name wasn't Cheney was it?

 

[MAGA99]

When I have to climb over crazy shit in the woods, or even stone wall, etc, I generally unchamber the round. Some of the rifles I hunt with are almost twice my age so I don’t trust The safety to prevent a 150 grain 270 round from hitting me.

Better buy a new one. Just in case.

Marry her lol

 

[PatMcD]

That happened on the powerlines about 6 miles down the road from me. She said the shotgun was on "safe" and her finger wasn't on the trigger.
I don't believe it.

Hunter safety recommends that while still in a group of people, all guns should be unloaded. Yes I know that many will say they need to have one gun loaded in case a deer pops out. Most guns can have a load in the magazine and all you need to to is chamber it if needed. Safeties are mechanical devices that can fail at the worst possible time. This incident proves that is reality.

THAT is why they make that little lever called "the safety"

I'd follow that with a rifle or slug gun every time, but when actively bird hunting with your immediate hunting partner(s) your going to carry a loaded shotgun on safe.

Safeties on most rifles and shotguns prevent the trigger from being pulled, but they don’t prevent the striker or firing pin from moving. For many of them, it doesn’t take much of a drop for the hammer to jump the sear notch, or the firing pin to set off the cartridge just through inertia.

Well, there is ONLY one way to actually test that. She really didn't think that statement through!

dat is why i like the cross bolt safeties in rifles, and the little striker plate thing that drops out of the way so the hammer can not hit the firing pin in revolvers.

i can not easily count how many times i have either fallen down, or my rifle fallen down when i thought it was securely resting against a tree or fence.

I'll leave this here:

 

[Nick Leduc]

Not guilty.

 

[clampett]

Not guilty.

Looks like she had a fishing accident.
