Yep, shot my grandpa...

When I was around 10 years old I was shooting an old .22 rifle with an odd sort of hammer. The hammer was a knob that you pulled straight out towards yourself. My grandpa was at a 45° angle from me to my right in relation to where my target was. I cocked back the hammer, waited till he cleared a bit more and started to raise the firearm. I believe something happened where the hammer wasn't fully cocked because it flew forward about halfway up to my target and ricocheted and hit my grandpa in the shoulder. No damage was done to him but I was balling like a little girl of course. Even before then my dad grilled proper firearm safety to me and continued to till this day. With my pistol that I own know, the first I have ever owned, I have never had a ND. With the habits I have formed I don't see it happening as long as I am as careful as I should be.
