Do guns "Go Off"? Yes, when you pull the trigger they do. I don't understand it either. The guy pointed a gun at the girl's head then pulled the trigger. Why isn't he in jail charged with murder?z |

Q: Do guns "Go Off"?
A: Only when you heat them in the oven. |

I get really annoyed when I read that phrase "the gun went off". It is an attempt to put the blame on an inanimate object, much like when someone rams his/her car through a store window and claims that the brakes failed.

Ummmm, I hate to disagree but firearms are mechanical devices and mechanical devices sometimes break.
Someone just recently posted they had an ND. Explaining that when they chambered a round in their bolt gun, r/hand working bolt, l/hand on forefrip. The weapon fired when the round went into the chamber. There are also a whole bunch of bolt guns that fire when the saefty is deactivated. They are older guns and apperently the is some wear/metal/design problem with the safety. Having said that, was the gun "cleared" prior to the incident?? Why was he pointing it at a person? Where was his "finger"?? Most likely this is entirely operator error, I just wouldn't be sure that the gun was operating at 100%, right off the bat. |

One of my younger guns went off by itself, so we called the police to help us search for it. When we got it back, I hugged it, and made sure it understood not to do that again.
You don't understand until you get one of your own. [;D] |

I agree with WOLFPACK. I was with him. He SQUEEZED THE TRIGGER, and the gun went off.

Definitely there is a multi-witness account of a Glock going off as a round was chambered -- no trigger-pull.
And numerous people have reported Remington rifles (pre-1982 models) going off when the safety was manipulated: [url]http://www.remington.com/Safety_Modification_Program/remington_safety.htm[/url] If the right piece of metal broke under tension, a gun could go off on its own. I don't know if this happens every 100 years, or 10, or what. It's possible, not likely. |

Maybe he tried posing for the camera like they do in the movies with his finger on the trigger. Then some how when he touched the trigger, "it went off" . go figure

Yeah capitalist, I'd like to know that one!
I've had one ND. Here's what happened: I was getting ready to shoot, safety is on. I chamber a round into my Marlin 25N. I *think* I take off the safety, but it kinda goes in between safe and fire. I attempt to pull the trigger (thinking it is on fire), and nothing happens. I sit up (I was in prone) and realize that the safety is in between safe and fire. I put the safety position to "fire" and the gun discharges. My stupid fault. |

I had an old Springfield that I was sighting in one day. I had chambered a round and laid the gun on the bench. While adjusting the spotting scope, I knocked the table and it went off.
I no longer use that rifle. I also used to own a Marlin .22 which from time to time would fire a burst of three rounds with one trigger pull. Great for gopher shooting but very illegal. |

I caught all my handguns and rifles sneaking back in the house at 7am, all with alcohol and Hoppes #9 on their breath! More laws are needed! |

I have heard to many stories about glocks having problems to believe there all lies and bull. I don't need the remorse nor the expense find out that the one I own is problematic. They belong in DENIAL. Steel breaks plastic.

After a succesful deer hunt my dad and I were getting ready for the drive home. We each started unloading our rifles, and my dad had his pointed in my direction (inside the cab of a pick-up there is only so much room) but thankfully he remembered good safety and pointed it up before flicking the safety to position two. (trigger locked, bolt can move) A spring or something apparently had broken that day and releasing the safety let the firing pin slam home on a live one. Ever hear a 7mm remington mag go off inside a pick-up cab? Punched a beutiful hole in the roof too. |

Usually when a firearm discharges unintentionally and injures someone, whether from a mechanical failure or user error, the casualty can be readily attributed to the user failing to practice proper safety procedures. An action by the user seems to ALWAYS initiate the discharge, whether it be racking the slide, manipulating the safety or bolting the rifle. The lesson here is that the rifle should always be pointed in a reasonably safe direction (certainly not at someone or where someone is likely to be behind a thin wall) when you manipulate any control on a firearm.
Question: WTF was the kid doing handling a loaded rifle for a photo session? Right there he's wrong. The kid is guilty of manslaughter...in what degree is up to the judge and jury to decide. |

[stick] And these are the same yo-yo's that want Smart Guns.. my god arn't Dumb Guns bad enough? They just "go off" when pointed at people, but we know which gun did it. But now that Sig will be able to plot its kill and blame it on the Glock. I ask you, do we really want Smart Guns? I know I dont. I dont want to worry about mine plotting my murder! [Peep] |

Some years back, around 1978 I think, I had a Remington 600 discharge when I manipulated the safety to unload the gun. I had the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and nobody was injured. My father, an unreasonable man at times, refused to believe that I did not touch the trigger. He emphasized this lesson on truthfulness and gun safety by giving me a rather sharp punch in the mouth.
Guns occasionally do discharge due to mechanical failure. |

I get on free hole-in-the-wall ND, the rest cost. [;)] Grandfather put one in the roof of a trailer when he was disasmbleing a luger, at one point the firing pin can/will drop while your taking it apart. he forgot to clear the chamber. New AC vent in the roof. my father did one when he was clearing the chamber on a rifle. when he pulled on the bolt he tightend his grip and touched off the trigger. when throuth the wall of his room in a trailer and into the neighbors, noone was home at the time. no injuries either time. so i get one freebie ;)
oh my grandfather was very displeased with his young son (16-18 at the time i think) until grandmom reminded him about the luger in the roof. |
