My first firearm related injury...

[Suntory_Black]

Took my new Taurus PT92 to the range yesterday. Caught a ejected casing under my safety glasses. Could have been worse though.

Now you have a good story, and are relatively unscathed. It's better than getting hot machinegun brass down your shirt!

I remember the first time I went shooting. I was about 3 or 4 and my dad and uncle took me to an indoor range. My dad was shooting and a spent casing flew backwards and landed in my uncle's shirt. He did a funny dance and as a little kid, I thought it was absolutely hilarious.

When it was my turn to shoot, for the very first time in my life, I took that Glock 19 and did a mag dump and it was awesome.

That's nothing!!! Man, I was expecting to see some real gore ... like a foot got blown off or something. Now, I must log onto youtube and search for MC crashes to satisfy.

How come you shaved your eyebrow recently? Just curious...

The flash makes it look shorter than they really are, they are actually the same length as my goatee. I keep the eybrows and unibrow trimmed cause they are huge and bushy.

same happened to me a couple weeks ago! then you cant do anything cause you dont want to wave a gun around but it burns!

When someone asks, make sure you tell them you got hit by a 9mm but shrugged it off. You're only hiding half the truth >.>

[perpetual otter]

LoL. That's awesome. I'm gonna steal that and "shrug off" 9mms too.

But you have to do it in a 9mm vs 45acp thread.

[Caiden07]

You know what that is? You should change your safety glasses with side shields.

The same thing happened to my dad, except his was a .45ACP casing that cut a neat little crescent right above his eyebrow.

Looks to me like your safety glasses prevented a worse injury. I wear my work safety glasses with side shields when I shoot. A few weeks ago, a case from my cz52 went over my head, down the back of my shirt. No injuries, just burned and got my attention. I hope that is your last injury. That one is about as bad as you want.

Scars are tattoos with better stories.

almost the same thing happened to me a while back, the casing was caught in the spot between my nose and inner eye. was literally 2mm away from toasting my eye.
