It’s been a wild week on social media, with some jaw-dropping negligent discharge (ND) videos making the rounds. These clips serve as a stark reminder of why firearms safety is no joke and why the rules exist for a reason. Let’s dive into what happened.
The first video (see above) features a man recounting his previous ND on camera—but irony had other plans. While retelling his story, he actually ND’d again. Yes, you read that right. The guy doubled down on his mistake mid-video. If it weren’t so dangerous, it’d almost be a comedy sketch.

The second incident, though, is no laughing matter (see above). A safety demonstration turned disastrous during a shooting competition in Godawa, Poland. A judge, acting as a referee, was walking participants through the process of safely cocking a firearm and ejecting the cartridge.
But instead of a smooth lesson in firearm safety, things went south—fast. The judge accidentally fired the weapon at damn near point-blank range, hitting a 68-year-old man in the buttocks, as the DailyMail reported. Thankfully, the man survived, but this could’ve ended far worse.
The Obvious Takeaway
Both of these situations highlight a crucial point: firearms demand respect, always. Whether you’re making a video for the ‘Gram or running a competition, the basic rules of gun safety aren’t just suggestions—they’re life-saving principles.
- Treat every firearm as if it’s loaded. Always. Even when you think it’s not.
- Never point the muzzle at anything you’re not willing to destroy. You’d think this would be a no-brainer.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire. Seriously, your trigger finger is not a fidget toy.
- Know your target and what’s beyond it. Because there’s no “undo” button on a discharged round.
Our community knows better than anyone how critical responsible gun ownership is. Let’s use these incidents as a reminder to double down on safety, not just for ourselves but for everyone around us.
Stay safe, stay sharp, and keep spreading the word about responsible firearms handling.
