Whats this thread title about? Did the ammo cause the guy to shoot himself? The title seems to insinuate that having ammo around while cleaning increases the risk of stupid people shooting themselves. So are you suggesting that when Ineed to clean my gun, I should unload it, collect all the ammo and take it somewhere else, andthen go back andclean my gun? Seems kinda silly to me. How about "NO STUPID AROUND When Cleaning Your Gun. That would have been a little more appropriate.NO AMMO AROUND When Cleaning Your Gun.

+1. If I ever stupidly shot my gun with no good excuse, lord knows the first thing outta my mouth would be "I was just cleaning it and..." lol. Honestly, though, under normal circumstances while cleaning your handgun, when does your hand EVER go in front of the muzzle? I don't know about glocks, but to take apart my gun it takes BOTH hands...one below the frame and one on top of the slide. If he had shot himself in the leg that would be one thing, but his hand???or he could have been doing something else unsafe and came up with the cleaning story.
Anyway, if he did indeed make an honest (but still stupid) mistake, then that's too bad and I hope he gets better.
