So, I was out rabbit hunting. I'm an eagle scout. And I was about 3 miles from my neighborhood which was on the outskirts of town. I had my dads lever action .22 having a good ole' time shooting anything and everything. I was about 11 at the time. I stopped to look around and I rested the barrel on my foot. The problem is that I had one chambered and the hammer back. So I figured the smart thing to do was to uncock the hammer while it was on my foot. I know your thinking what an idiot. Well truth is I wasn't thinking at all actually. As I go to release the hammer a voice in my head said "raise the barrel" so I raised it a few inches till it was pointed at the ground and not my foot. I then let the hammer down slowly so it wouldn't go off and BAM it slipped from my thumb as I let it down. My point is sometimes you've got to self defend against yourself if that makes any sense. Oh, did I mention I'm an eagle scout?:banghead::cuss:
