Let me start this by saying no one was hurt and the bullet was recovered inside the residence.
Like most stories on this sub, I grew up with and around firearms my entire life. I've known the 4 rules since i was a child and the only difference between me now and then is complacency it seems.
Last night I was laying in bed with my partner getting ready to wind down for the night. I am essentially peepeeing around with my handgun, a Glock 19 clone.
I drop the magazine, clear the chamber, and re-insert the magazine for the weight. I aim at the wall, click. Out of habit, I absentmindedly racked the slide fully to reset the trigger and chambered a round. I aim at the wall, BAM
First thing I did was check my partner and myself, and from there I follow the bullet trajectory through two sheets of drywall and into the corner of the living room where it hit two 2x4s and bounced onto my partner's desk.
I feel like such a fricking idiot. I am a fricking idiot. Someone could have died or been injured, the cops could have come, so much could have gone far worse.
TLDR: I was an idiot with a gun, now I am an idiot with a drywall putty knife. Picture is of recovered 124gr Hornady Critical Duty +p
There's nothing wrong with dryfire practice but it's absolute basic safety to eject the magazine, put it in another room (especially if it's loaded), check at least three times that the chamber is indeed clear, and then do your dryfire drills. This absolute brainlet r-slur REINSERTS THE FULL MAGAZINE ("for the weight") before dryfiring and unsurprisingly puts one in the wall.
Also he's married.

PROTIP: if you own a gun over a year without negligent discharging at least once, you aren't handling it enough. NDs are a natural part of handling weapons, just like tweaking your back is part of weightlifting and car accidents are part of driving. I ND several times a year because I actually HANDLE and know how to USE my weapons. It makes me a better firearms handler and marksman, and it's a small part of the price you pay in the sheepdog lifestyle Simple fact is, the "safety mentality" will build mental blocks in your head that will get you killed. You need to be comfortable putting your finger on the trigger and pointing the gun wherever you want no matter the time, place, or status of the weapon. Taking time to check whether the gun is loaded whenever you pick one up will serve to make you hesitate in a personal defense scenario. You fricking safety idiots are going to get people killed all because of this fricking "ND" shaming. Guns are inherently dangerous, you need to accept it.

If you don't ND occasionally, you'll get complacent to the point someone gets hurt.
