Closest thing I had to an ND ( and it was a TRUE ND ) was when I was probably 8 yrs old , and I had my single pump Daisy BB gun.

Me and some friends were horsing around , and I unloaded the gun .... Or so I thought. Apearently there was one left in there and as I shot from the hip , the BB pinged off his stomach.

I thought he was faking when he said it got him. A tiny little break in the skin was all that was done.

Lesson learned ? I needed a stronger BB Gun.

Seriously though , once I realize it actually had happened , I really freaked out and that's probably the FIRST place I learned my respect for a firearm .... Next was dad's teachings over the years.
