Negligent discharges happen. Sometimes no one is hurt and sometimes the individuals shoots themselves or unfortunately another person. And now it seems to have caught up with Hickok45. However, in true Hickok45 fashion he takes the opportunity to show you how to properly carry your old single action revolver.
The old time cowboys got this right, at least the ones who never did “ventilate” their legs or feet! 🙂 Be sure to watch THIS video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldHPN…
In all seriousness though He didnt actually shoot his actual foot just his shoe to illustrate his point of what could happen if you carry one of these old revolvers with all the chambers loaded. Hickok goes into great detail on what you can do to avoid ACTUALLY shooting yourself in the foot.
