Best be careful

That is like the most unimaginable thing that you could do. Hurt yourself is bad enough but your woman or family member?? Unbelievable, Just speechless ...

Maybe he forgot to chamber check?

“While cleaning the firearm, the man was loading it back when the gun discharged and a round struck his wife in the shoulder, police said.”
 
I always do my breakdowns/cleaning after the range in the garage, away from everyone, because:

1, the fumes.

2, the chemicals can damage the floors I killed myself putting in.

3, if I'm a complete F-ing moron and have an ND.

So, yeah. Terrible thing that happened, but an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure.

I get it, I put our floors in myself too and seeing them potentially damaged hurts lol

I clear the weapons in the garage and clean them in the house with NO AMMO anywhere. My girls like telling me I’m doing a crappy cleaning job lol

The video says they are in a mobile home neighborhood; and their only garage would have been under that roof for their vehicle.

If the guy would have done it outside the bullet probably would have still went somewhere if he was facing the bore in a different direction; probably just not into the wife while showering 🧼 🤣.

Yeh, not inside the sleeping or eating quarters is a good idea for cleaning due to chemicals. Hoppes #9 is inexpensive and effective but it has a strong odor. Ballistol is a lighter but still smells. Boretech, Slip2000 EWL, and Breakthrough Solvent are quite gentle on the odors; somewhat close to odor free.

I cover the service I am working on with broken down cardboard boxes as a disposable mat

Plus one for Clenzoil too, low odor and highly-rated. Hoppe's doesn't smell bad but it's so strong that I have two airtight cases for my solvents, a small one inside the larger one. Even then I still smell the Hoppe's.

I tried using Ballistol in a well ventilated room, and my daughter comes in yelling to wash my feet and to stop farting.

The “during” smell of hoppes can be quite strong. The “days after” of hoppes in barrel can be quite pleasant.
 
Total moron, that idiot shouldn’t own weapons. He is only helping the efforts to disarm the citizenry. If ever his wife had a legit reason to divorce and $$$-in, there it is.
 
y'know, I've always pointed my guns at armor plates/panels when loading and unloading just in case they discharge it hits something
never thought of using the wife as a bullet stop
 
I miss the original Hope's no 9 formula with the sweet aroma of banana and benzine. I had a half full bottle of that and loaned it to a friend for a few days so he could also recall the wonderful scent that we grew up with while watching dad clean his firearms. Unfortunately, the neighbor passed away before he could return the elixir and the bottle is gone.
 
I always clear my guns at the range before I head home. Once home, I check them again. And I’ll check them again after I clean them, before I put them back in the safe. And then yet again when I pull them out of my safe.

No ND’s happening at my home.
