Welcome to the club.

When it happened to me, I was in the Marine Corps, and rule #2
kept me from killing someone. Thank God.

ND's don't happen to idiots. They happen to smart, experienced, professional gun handlers. They happen to Marines, LEOs, and candlestick makers. They can happen to anyone, and my own ND causes me to be a better and safer shooter. In a way, I wish every shooter could have an ND that didn't kill anyone just to be convinced that this can and does occur to intelligent people who handle guns every day.

Shoot safely.
