Topic: What's the dumbest gun related mistake you've ever made? (Read 1555 times)
Not as exciting as the other stories, but when I was new to shooting, I sort of casually pointed the pistol at my instructor and he freaked the fuck out. I learned my lesson though.
Went to a shotting galore, tried to load a 9 with 10's.
Locked my finger inside the barrel of a gun at a shooting gallery when I was a kid. I still have a scar from it. The gallery owners said they never saw that happen before 
ah i remeber ,when i first started years ago, i forgot that mosin nagants won't extract unless the round has been fired
got up to clear weapon so i could go downrange. didn't visually or digitally check. racked bolt back, forward, and pulled the trigger. boom. i always check visually and feel for a round now.
nobody was on the range, but it was a really fucking stupid mistake.

made a mistake shooting the glock 42 today... the slide caught my hand pretty bad, no stitches needed, but it hurt like hell lol.. damn big hands and small guns don't mix.
Not me personally: but when I was a kid, I saw my Dad being a dumbass racking rounds from a Colt .45 and the gun discharged, firing through and through his left leg, just above the knee, narrowly missing an artery and lodging the bullet into a piece of wood trim in our house.
I learned a lot about guns that day.

I don't own real gun so I can't speak from that perspective. But I do own airgun which can easily kill human, my biggest mistake was shooting while I was tipsy. Other than that I am quite responsible.
What does that mean.. in terms of firing - "stand my ground" ??
Us Aussies aren't familiar with the terminology. Well at least I'm not.

How are you not in jail? Most states by law say you can stand you ground and fight, if you feel you are in danger you do not have to retreat. You can meet force with force and then you will not be responsible for both law and court, as in you wont get charges and the family cannot sue for wrongfull death ect.
My mistake was never buying a gun.
Stand your ground= do not turn your back to a rampaging violent felon so he can shoot, stab, beat, etc. you in it, then take your self-defense tool off your incapacitated or lifeless body and use it to injure and kill others.

I accidentally fired shots, wait let me tell you the story
In west Philadelphia born and raised On the playground was where I spent most of my days Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of school When a couple of guys Who were up to no good Startin making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air' I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror If anything I can say is that this cab was rare But I thought 'Man forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel-Air'
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later' I looked to my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
:p

Guns have got nothing against blades (katana in this case). 
My biggest blade related mistake would be (other than the money I spent on it
), not practicing with it as often as I'd like.

Watching my buddy clear his gun in the barrel with the magazine in, I just laughed in my head then BOOM.
Going to shoot, but forget to pull the trigger, so no shot.

In Boy Scouts when I was about 12 they let us fire some rifles. Then they gave me a rifle with black powder and laughed as I almost blew my arm off with the force of the shot. I had a huge bruise on my shoulder for a week from the butt of the rifle.
In 2011 I was in a gun store, they had an SKS in decent shape for 120 usd out the door with ascesories. I didn't know much about the SKS then, so I passed. Now the same gun would sell for at least 400 usd. I still regret not buying it.
Paying too much.
