Or did you pull the trigger?
Contrary to popular belief, guns don't just "go off" like they do in movies.
This is not an accidental discharge. This was negligent discharge. He did something stupid and it was not the gun's fault.
Please learn your safety rules and practice responsible gun ownership. It's bonehead moves like this one that give all firearm owners a bad name.

I didn't imply that they did...
The gun could have slam fired from dropping the slide. One of the safeties on the gun, there are several, could have failed. In this instance the OP pulled the trigger with the grip safety depressed and disengaged the safety on the trigger...
Boneheaded? Absolutely, but to think that he needs a lecture at this point is kind of like buying the milking pail after you have slaughtered the cow...
His son, who incidentally has fired more rounds than everyone on this board combined, will give him more grief about this than anyone on this board ever will...

Sorry, I had to drop off yesterday. My wife and kids left for Chicago and loaded up luggage and left in the morning. About ten mins after getting home from work I did this stupid thing. My neighbor thought my wife and kids had left me and I offed myself.
No cops called. I was so mad at myself about this. I am very proficient with firearms and have never had an incident.

What Bapple said
As to the OP , aside from this incident, you must be a very proud pop having a son in such a elite part of our military. Congrats to him and may he lay into like there's no tomorrow.
