Poor guy will probably never live it down.
Glad he wasn't hurt worse. :-\

Re: Gun safety demonstration
I'm just trying to picture how he must have been holding the gun to shoot himself in the leg while checking the chamber. ???
At any rate, I'm quite sure he'll never hear the end of it. Though it does really drive home the importance of proper handling.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Re: Gun safety demonstration
Back in school many years ago I had a physics teacher who was demonstrating the use of a bunsen burner and highlighting proper use to make it safer, maybe he should have taken his own advice you see he set his white lab coat on fire in front of us.
Well no injuries but he never did live that down
But why tell you this amusing story, well it shows Murphys laws as believed by me
1) Anything that can go wrong will go wrong
2) Anything that can go wrong will go wrong UNLESS someone takes time to ensure that it does not
3) Million to one chances come around nine times out of ten
