Do the press checks people, or equivalent because it does matter. I normally keep a small .380 auto in one of the kitchen drawers just because. Well a couple of weeks ago we were having a visit by some relatives that have small children.
So prior to this I dutifully go around and demilitarize the house. At any rate I put all the guns that might be accessible to children away. So then time passes and I think that It is time to rearm the house, and proceed to do so. So the . 380 goes back into the kitchen drawer. Well today I decide that hey I have not shot this one in a while, so it is overdue. I grab it and decide that it will be my carry gun of the day. And that aside from accompanying me into town. I will get out of my truck on my return from town and attempt to dispatch the juice can that I keep sitting on one of my fence posts just for this reason.
Well low and behold I get out of my car to dispatch this juice can on the way home, and nothing. No Mama, No Papa. The gun is empty. So I started to think about this and then I remembered. Before I put the gun away in the safe prior to the visit, I emptied it into the gong outside of the shop.
Pay attention people! do the press check or whatever else works for you. But definitely do it. I am still kicking myself in the butt over this.
