Today, I was at my friend's house. We were looking at her dad's guns, and I was explaining gun safety and how you should never put your finger on the trigger. I then shot a hole in the floor of her house. FML

Today, I took my 15-year-old daughter to our local shooting range for her birthday, as she requested. While she was setting up a target in front of me, I jokingly pulled the trigger and shouted, "Think Fast!" not realizing that the safety was off. I shot my daughter in the arm on her birthday. FML

Today, my girlfriend called me an "obsessive weirdo" for always checking the chamber on my handgun whenever I pick it up. The last time I let her touch it, she mishandled it and shot a hole in the floor. Glad she's learned her lesson. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's parents. Her dad showed me his gun collection, and said the first rule of gun safety is never to point a gun at something you don't intend to kill. All while waving a handgun in my direction and glaring at me with barely suppressed rage. FML

Today, while sitting in a waiting room, a man assured me "The safety's on" after he handed his kid his BB gun. A minute later, I practically had a hole in my foot. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I went shooting. While I was showing him how to properly hold and adjust a rifle, he accidentally pulled the trigger. The gun kicked back and hit me in the face, breaking my nose. FML

Today, my neighbor brought a ruined napkin holder over and claimed that we drilled a hole through his wall and ruined it. I apologized, not telling him that it was actually a bullet that my boyfriend shot through the wall. FML

Today, I was showing my friend's dad an airsoft gun I was hoping he would be interested in buying. It's a pistol worth about 90 bucks. In the midst of showing him, I thought it would be funny to do a fake, upwards "pistol whip". The mag ended up flying out full speed and hitting him in the eye. FML

Today, my aunt asked to see my new airsoft pistol. Not thinking anything of it, I handed it to her. She shot me in the leg. I was standing next to her. FML

Today, my friends and I went paintballing. The instructor showed us the sound of an unloaded gun by shooting at my face. It wasn't unloaded. FML

You shouldn't be fingering another guy's rods right in front of their own daughters. Accidental discharges will have many negative consequences.

This whole scenario is wrong on so many levels. At least it was only the floor, however.

Hair-triggers only require a couple ounces of pressure to fire. Regardless, YDI for not clearing the chamber SAFELY, but her dad should've known better than to give an idiot a loaded gun. Breach open, safety on. Remember that OP, and your days in court will be few.

Her father was a moron for having a loaded gun in the house. I've never heard the "don't put your finger on the trigger" rule, I sure as hell have heard the "never have the gun loaded unless you're actually about to fire it" rule though. Though #60 was right in saying you should still treat a gun as loaded until you're sure it's not.

her dad should have kept the guns lock up. and you should not have been playing with them. guns are not toys. you're lucky that all you shot is the floor. when I was little, my best friend was playing with his dads guns and accidentally shot his little brother in the face with a shotgun and it killed him. you should think about the possible consequences next time.
