My downstairs neighbor was cleaning his gun last week when it went off. the .45 slug went through two walls and a sliding glass door.

You didn't need to. :mrgreen:

Where did the bullet stop? If it only went through two walls, it must have been undercharged.

How can one "clean" a firearm while it is loaded? That's a rhetorical question .... the answer, of course, is that loaded firearms can't be cleaned. They may either be cleared or fired.

Your neighbor is an idiot. :banghead:

Downstairs neighbor, eh? I'd be looking for a new place or carbon fiber carpet.

Goes without saying. Glad you were not hurt. Is it safe to assume that these incidents happen when the intellectually challenged reload after cleaning? I don't know of another explanation.

I think you did.
When you say, " . . . cleaning his gun . . . when it went off."
Most of us think, "Translation: He's an idiot."

I only found this out buy his neighbor who was helping him move out and noticed the holes in the walls. He then noticed the holes in the walls point to his sliding glass door, which was "broken" a week ago. Upon further inspection, the neighbor noticed a .45 hole in one of the blinds in front of the glass door. The downstairs neighbor still denies having fired the gun himself, but admits it looks like a bullet 'could' have done all of that...... idiot

He's not an idiot, he's an absolutely criminally negligent menace.

My guess is that he was not cleaning the gun. That is just the story that he is putting out there. It is just an excuse for poor safety.
