Me and Woody were both wondering how or more importantly, why do you reassemble a handgun after cleaning with a round in the chamber? And how did he shoot himself in the wrist? I can almost understand the hand or foot or even the leg, but the wrist?
At first I thought it was a misprint in the second paragraph and they meant to say clearing instead of cleaning, but nope, they go into a little more detail about it further down.
And he's a concealed carry instructor? Really?
