Note to Self: Rule Number One

Came across this:

I done this literally thousands of times in the last fifteen years, but this times things were a little different. I grabbed the slide getting ready to push the takedown pins and pulled the trigger……BANG!!!!! Apparently I DID pipe a round an hour prior. My shooting bud attributes it to force of habit, but why the hell didn’t I check the chamber before pulling the trigger? Should that be force of habit too?

Not only did I set off a .45 in my garage, but I passed right through my left hand……Yep….I fucking shot myself point blank....

So this is a note to myself:

All guns are always loaded. That's Rule Number One. It's going to save my life or the lives of those around me by sticking to it.
