View Full Version : I just called a snap drill here at home

Everyone was running around getting their go bags and i headed downstairs to open a gun safe to acquire firearms.
Unfortunately for me i neglected to put on my boots first.
After dialing in the combination and opening the door an AR 10 fell out of the safe right onto my big toe left foot.
Blood everywhere but my pride was hurt worse than anything else as everyone was standing at the front door with their gear waiting for me to hand out the ordinance.
I will never ever open a gun safe in my bare feet again.
Drill over.

Naw, don't move it, it's real life.
I hope the toe ain't broke, though your pride ain't so forgiving. At least you have such a drill in place and you did learn from it.

old steel, good drill! The best drills are the ones that you learn from. Like LT said, hope your toe isn't broken. Thanks for sharing too, maybe you saved someone from else from making that same mistake.

Nope it moves fine but i bet i lose the toenail.
So i come upstairs and my Redwing steel toe work boots are staring me in the face.
That Stoner rife is dangerous even when it's unloaded.

Pain is good enforcement for lessons and memory's!
Good on the drill, good way to find and workout kinks in plans.

Sounds like that ugly weapon was too much for you. I can take it off your hands so your next drill will run smoothly.
It is good to do these. You learn important lessons. Thanks for the reminder.

See, this is why I stick with bolt actions. The rubber buttpad also protects feet!

The gun safe was too full so it fell forward when the door was opened. I'm pretty sure the bayonet lug was what did all the damage.
I need to bury that bad boy further back in the safe, leave the lighter 10/22's up front.

Or rig a stop bar that keeps things from falling forward?

Whole reason for a drill is to see any problems that arise and remedy them.......

Funny you called a snap drill just hours before a major quake in Napa. Clairvoyant much?
I just called a snap drill at my house...I went to the fridge for a beer :)

I hope you didn't drop it on your big toe. That would be considered abuse.
