I am amazed that accidents like this still happen. I hope Jose Conseco recovers. It is sad to see anyone hurt like this, especially since it is completely avoidable.
- Check your weapon before you clean it. Is the magazine well empty and is the chamber empty? If it’s a revolver, make sure all the cylinders are clear.
- Never put your hand in front of the barrel. Always treat a weapon like its loaded.
The other option is to lose a finger…(and I’m guessing most of us don’t have super models to take care of us afterwards).
