Just a Safety reminder. Not train related.

As some may know, besides trains, I compete in challenging competition shooting matches. I'm not as good as I was a couple years ago. I was Florida State Champion and had many 1st place finishes. I do it now for the enjoyment and seeing friends I have made over the years.
But today we had an accident were a shooter shot himself in the foot. Police and ambulance were there and shooter seemed okay and didn't go into shock. I witness the whole event. The victim was a former Marine and had shot before. But today after failure of his pistol, a revolver and going around several times. It failed to fire. Safety procedure calls for shooter to ground pistol, or any firearm were there is a malfunction on the table. Instead shooter for whatever reason, pistol still cocked, finger in trigger guard, he holstered it and as he did, it fired hitting himself in middle of right foot. It was a 45 caliber and went in and out of his shoe. Quick action we were able to control bleeding till ambulance.
Please, remember, all firearms are to be considered loaded. Be careful and always use caution in handling. This person wasn't a rookie, he knew.  

I was hesitant in writing this here, but don't want to see anyone else ever hurt.
