Shot something you shouldn’t???

Statute of Limitations is out but I won't confess. Nooooo, you can't make me! B.

Years ago when my wife and I where dating, we were at the pit shooting. I had gone to set up the targets. While doing so I heard a shot, and hit the deck. I then turned around, looking at her. She had already set the rifle down. I looked directly at her and said. You just shot my truck. Didn't you? Yes indeed she did. A 32 Winchester hole right through the side of the bed of my truck. I reminded her about always checking the gun to see if one was chambered.

A learning experience. She has always been very careful since.

This might become a pretty long thread......

If it weren't for all those non-confessors like @Bandito....!
He at least said something.
But there is a whole bunch out there who won't open their lips nor hit a single key on their keyboard....



What an enjoyable read!

Shot something I shouldn't? Just an airgun. And my bank account may never fully recover from that injury.

I've actually been very fortunate and not shot much I shouldn't have. I may or may not have accidentally put a hole in a window or two when I was younger though.

Well, myself right in my forehead when I was 13. BB ricochet. I thought the BB was inbeded under my skin, sure felt like it. After a week, the swelling went down and no BB

I was shooting a squirrel out of my garage window keeping the muzzle inside. Like a few of you said the barrel is definitely lower than the scope. I hit the alum storm window frame and the pellet richcheted back into the garage. It scared the heck out of me then the possible damage that possibly just happened sped thru by mind, luckily no damage and a lesson learned. Could have been bad!!

I was 12 or 13, at a friend's house whose single parent worked 10 hour days. Had a daisy pump there with no supervision, UH OH! We were shooting tin cans off fence posts in the backyard with no backstop. Neighbors across the alley came home to over 20 holes in their den picture window. Cost my Dad $350 in 1965ish - a lot of money then! Yes, I DID ultimately have to pay it back to Pops.

Several years ago at the show I set up at, a guy came by and dropped a Marksman BB pistol on my table and said: "its yours". I proceeded to check it out to make sure it was empty, including cocking and firing it several times into my wiping rag. I then told the other guys in the 4 table square we share that I had a Marksman like this when I was a kid and managed to shoot myself in the hand with it. I then proceeded to demonstrate how I accomplished that feat by cocking the Marksman, holding up my opened hand, and, at a range of about 2 inches pointed the muzzle at my palm and pulled the trigger. When the laughter stopped, one of the guys picked the BB up off the floor and presented it to me to keep forever as an example of complete stupidity.

Haha funny, not funny. When i was around 14 or so i shot a bb gun at a metal door about 5 feet in front of me. I lived with a chipped front tooth for years.

When I.was growing up, my parents would not allow me to have a BB gun. But that did not make me innocent, it just postponed the inevitable. Shot at a crow and ricocheted hitting the water storage tank. Nice scar, but no leaks. So do not tell the little lady about it. I might not be allowed to have a pellet gun AGAIN, lol.

There is a busted Chrono in my basement…. Not sure what happened to it…

As for the rest, well my father told me when I was 9 years old “Some secrets a man must take to the grave”.

SWMBO shot the 16"X16" trap in the garage and proceeded to add a few "screw holes" into the door frame to the left of the trap.

She profusely apologized for the poor aim until I pointed out three, carefully epoxy filled dents in the steel door.

I had the gun bore-sited but bumped it without thinking about it until I shot three but the shots didn't show up on paper.

Oops!

 

[Bandito]

Oh yeah I WILL admit to shooting a 44 mag into a chrono. Messed it up a bit. So embarrassing.
And Jungle Shooter you know how many gubermint snitches are probably watching this thread. Lots of alphabet soup just waiting to swoop down on a shooter, shoot his dog, and drag him away for misdeeds with a BB gun. Be Well boys and girls, B.

When I stand in my second floor kitchen, shooting over the deck railing 10' out, to my ground level target pellet trap at 30 yds, I sometimes hit the rail. But not always.
Aim point top of the trap ok, mid to low not OK

You would think I would learn. That is not my usual shooting path though, but still!

 

[McMullen]

I’m thinking we all have but most are probably not as big of a DA as me. I don’t think I’m alone in sometimes wanting to shoot from inside the house to outside when the weather stinks right ?? Ok but I may be alone in being stupid enough to accidentally shoot the window instead of the target ?? Anyone else ever have any complete District Attorney (DA) moments when shooting ?
