Here?s one...I wasn't quite a child.....I was 18 I think.

I was raised around guns. I know how to use them well and I know gun saftey even better....BUT.....

One day I was driving and I had a .40 cal sitting on the passenger seat...Of my parents car....And I decided to play with it while driving. I had just shown it to somebody who was interested in purchasing one like it so I knew it was empty.

Guess what?

Not empty.

I shot a hole through the seat and out the door. Then I had to explain to my parents what I had done and why the handgun was not locked in the vault where it should have been.

At first I considered various ways to cover it up. Replace the seat covers? Yeah, that will work...But mom and dad will wonder why I did that. And what about if/when they took them off? Shit.

I was lucky enough that the round exited through the molding on the outside of the door...OK...Go by the junk yard, buy some molding off a similar car, and presto...Yeah..That worked...And the hole in the interior was small enough that you wouldn't know it was there...unless you knew it was there.

Anyway....I just drove home and told them the truth.

I knew better than to do that. Now I keep every gun loaded at all times. It's the empty gun that kills....and puts holes in your car.
