Do You Use A Ballistic Bucket?

[edzz]

Two story home. On the very rare occurrence a round is being chambered in a gun in this house, bottom floor, pointed at the floor.
I do not unchamber and rechamber ammo in my carry gun unless I have been shooting or cleaning the gun. I clean it in the shop and if needed to chamber a round it's pointed through the sheet metal wall of the building, into the berm beside it.

While I won't say "things can't happen" but I have been handling guns for well over 50 years and have never had a cartridge go off when being chambered. Make sure it's safe direction and chamber the round. If you're really freaking paranoid, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from holding the slide as it returns to battery.

Oh for shame, what if a nice six point were taking a shortcut between the building and your berm when an accidental discharge occurred ???

Just kidding.

This was actually a line in a GREAT Eddie Murphy Routine that he did about Ralph Kramden and Norton being Gay.

Makes me Delirious.

Trust me Glocks have been at the heart of more than a few ND's and mechanical failures.

Trust me, morons have been at the heart of more than a few ND's and mechanical failures.

What about a 5 gallon bucket of mixed Tannerite. Point at that every time you pull the trigger before you take down your Glock. Or every time you chamber a round in your P320.

For those who feel it necessary to use a "ballistic bucket" when putting a semi auto into battery on a live round, do you also have a pair of earmuffs to don hanging by the bucket?

It is worn to protect the testicles from stray rounds. Level IV rated is preferred.

It's for when a ballistic cup just isn't big enough. Only real manly-men are big enough for a ballistic bucket, kind of like Henry VIII's royal codpiece.
