That's liable to put a great deal of stress on the marriage and family with such a result. Sad to hear.<br /><br />I'm gonna guess that she cocked the hammer. Way too many video representations show people doing this, even cartoons, so untrained people default to this. It's possible that hubby showed her how to shoot that gun by cocking the hammer first. Really stupid thing to do, if so. <br />None of my self-defense revolvers have hammer spurs, partly for this reason. When experienced shooters complain about the missing spur, it tells me something about them, and it's not good.<br />Some years ago, a friend of a friend died, apparently due to the wife cocking the hammer of a snubbie. A pocket hammer pretty much eliminates that nonsense, as it takes two hands and some knowledge to accomplish. Still enough metal to work with retaining straps.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-88578857229255532872018-06-05T11:35:20.813-04:002018-06-05T11:35:20.813-04:00Ah, thanks.

I told him to "wait there", I went into a cafe, bought a bottle of water, came out, gave it to him and said: "here you go."<br /><br />he looked at me as though he wanted to spit. But he thought better of it. (For one thing, I had five inches and about 60lbs on him. And my right hand had suspiciously moved behind my hip.)Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-55247955261545851382018-06-04T16:28:34.704-04:002018-06-04T16:28:34.704-04:00DGU

That gun is certainly capable of doing so, in the femoral artery, or such.<br />And I truly hope she is willing to at least learn the finer points of gun use, both from a practical safety point, and also from a safety point such as living out in the boonies, with no help available sometimes. She doesn't have to be Rambo, but knowing how to shoot a shotgun, a light kicking semi auto pistol, or even an AR 15, would make things much safer in her household. <br />And I am giving a prayer of thanks for her whole family tonight. <br />She dodged a bullet, literally.pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01036907880805485560noreply@blogger.com
