MAJ Ken Landgren 1082894 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My son bought a 9mm pistol for mother, but did not go over basic marksmanship or maintenance. They went firing yesterday. He never showed her how to disassemble it for cleaning. She brings it to me and drops the magazine which had rounds in it. Then she takes it off safe and tries to disassemble it, all the while pointing the pistol in various directions. I yelled at her to put it back on safe. 2015-11-02T13:44:42-05:00 MAJ Ken Landgren 1082894

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sir, now you have the opportunity to show her how to safely disarm, disassemble, and clean her weapon.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yep, that's how tragic accidents happen. I saw a similar situation with a shotgun when I was a youth and my uncles were aiming the gun, pointing it everywhere. When they finished, they checked the chamber and found shells!
