OP needs some serious training to keep himself from doing something stupid in the future. You just learned what you dont know, now do something about it. If you dont see that you arent smart enough to have a gun. Someone doing what you did, and then pulling the trigger, has consequences ranging from embarassment, arrest for reckless endangerment or similar, removal from training, loss of job, etc, all the way up to going to prison for manslaughter if someone was in the path of your bullet. So you got lucky. Now go get some training.
And yes I know that highly trained military and le unit members can also make mistakes- but the OP is neither, and doesnt have any reason to get lax (as sometimes happens) nor to pin it on the law of averages (because those units train a hell of a lot.) He got lucky, and luck doesnt count.
Loaded chamber indicator? No one uses those. But they do check their weapon to ensure it is loaded before heading out on a mission or shift. In the dark you just open up the gun enough to feel the loaded round. I would never trust a loaded chamber indicator as most are rinky dink in design, and I dont trust something like that.
Wow! Second post here on NWFA and you're already making assumptions about other people's training, intelligence, and right to own a firearm. You and others who are talking the same way need to give it a rest. If you think you are somehow superior and immune I don't want to be anywhere near you with a gun. Your implied denial that it could happen to you just makes you look silly.
