I don't know if anyone else has seen this before or not, so I'll post it:

Moderators note to others: Images in the link show a shooting wound and are somewhat graphic in nature.

It serves as a great reminder of what can happen in just an instant.

Great post. The pictures are excellent.

It helps make the point that through and through bullet wounds involve a lot more than just holes that heal up quickly when bandaged.

Thanks for the post! I've sent the link to all my friends who love to shoot.
It doesn't hurt to be reminded of and see what the consequences can be...
if we don't religiously and consciously follow the Colonel's rules.

Let that be a lesson to all of us. That's what can happen when you violate 3 of the 4 safety rules.

Thanks for the post. We all need to be reminded that it really can happen to us. Stay safe...guys and gals.

Would you mind adding a warning that some of the pictures may be graphic or unsettling? I was fine with them, but some others might be squeamish. . . or might feel they shouldn't be seen at work where a coworker could be offended.

RULE I: ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
RULE II: NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY
RULE III: KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
RULE IV: BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET

I would like to add one expanding on the previous rules.
Rule V: never trust the safety
There are others as well but these are the most important.

I added a note to the original post. Thanks!

Yup,

I've seen that one before. The bloody footprints leaving the basement pretty much tell the whole story.

Oh man...poor guy.

What a dreadful reminder to never let your guard down when it comes to safe gun handling.

Great post.. I vote for a sticky..

This really, really drove it home for me for some reason. I'm always very careful but reading this man's story makes it seem more real.
