I had an ex from Texas, she was of indian decendant, beautiful and smart girl. During our highschool years she lived down the street from me. One night her mom and grandma were out late and she thought she heard someone trying to get in the back door while her 2 younger sisters slept. She grabbed a rifle out of the closet not knowing her mom kept it loaded and it went off, scared her and whoever was trying to get in. She called me scared as can be to come over so I did. We looked for wherever the bullet may have gone and I found it... It went off when she was turning the gun over for elbow carry and to slide the bolt when her finger caught, so the bullet hole in the wall was about waist high in the living room where it happened, now the scary part... That was was a bedroom wall on the other side ( her sisters room ) that hole was about 2 inches above their heads...oh she had a freak out.
Even though she grew up with guns and shot them all the time, accidents do happen and sometimes not in a so lucky way.
