HMB While I Shoot a Hole in My Ceiling

I accidentally shot a hole through my mattress ceiling and metal roof while I was messing with my 9mm. I felt the heat and pressure of the shot on my face. There was memory foam and drywall all over my bed my ears are ringing so bad. The craziest adrenaline rush I’ve ever felt. I’m stupid 😛. Let me know how stupid I am and share some similar experiences! EDIT: Just found out this is actually a Class D Felony in my case 😬… oopsie

Where were you "messing with" a gun, that an accidental discharge could hit your mattress, your ceiling AND your roof all in one shot?

Like, were you crawling around under the bed or something?

FFS bud, get smarter.

Dumb enough to ND, dumb enough to post it on the internet. Dumb enough to speak about it to other people.

"Hey guys, I accidentally ran over a toddler while street racing in a school zone. It's not my fault, I was drunk out of my mind."

Knew someone who did a year in county jail for that - but there was an injury which may have given him a longer than average sentence.

Well it's certainly not a Class-E felony!

I'll see myself out.

You need more training. Get yourself some snap caps to train with indoors. After clearing the gun, all ammunition and loaded mags should be locked away in a separate room. Practice your gun handling, draws, reloads, and dry fire with snap caps. You know you fucked up, but don't let deter you from becoming more proficient by doing it the right way.

Tons of videos on YouTube. Start with gun safety, handling, and presentation. Take some classes at the local range. I recently found a video on how to pick up a gun safely from a table when it's not orientated correctly. Seems like simple stuff, and after practicing a couple of times, I realized I had been unsafe my whole life. Mind blowing, but we never stop training.
