Many shooters have objected to a habit displayed by many participants in shotgun sports. While waiting for their turn on the trap or skeet range, shooters often lean their shotguns muzzle-down on their shoes, pointing right at their own feet. Some specialist shoes for the sport even have a special leather patch on the toe, designed to accommodate the muzzle!
Needless to say, this is a very, very dangerous habit. It violates Rule Two of the Four Rules of Firearms Safety:
Never point the muzzle of a firearm
at anything you are not willing to destroy
Someone rested the muzzle of his shotgun on his foot.
Guess what happened?
A hole has literally been blasted through it from top to bottom. The bone of the big toe is clearly visible, where the flesh of the toe has been blown away.
