I post these incidents not to point a finger or make fun of, but to reinforce and constantly remind all of us to adhere to the 4 basic rules. Doing so may prevent tragedies like this.
hard to do, but always better to learn from someone else's experience vs your own, so keep reminding all of us.
the problem here is that something painful and out of the ordinary happened and we need to be able to not let that distract us when holding a deadly weapon.
i had to DQ a person that got hot brass behind their glasses and was burning their eyelid and was flailing around with a loaded gun in one hand while trying to dislodge glasses and brass with the other. fortunately finger off trigger so no AD/ND but still gun wasn't pointed safely.
at the fnh 3 gun match a few years ago i had rifle brass both lodge in the crook of my elbow and also down between my kneepads and knees but kept in the fight, so to speak, to not get DQ'd nor zero the stage.
