Hangfire Mishap

Whether for hunting, sport or self defense, thousands of Americans own and operate firearms.  It is a right guaranteed to us by the Second Amendment of the Constitution.  But every year people are injured and killed as a result of firearms mishaps.

Ammunition malfunctions (misfires and hangfires) are rare these days. But they do happen.  Check out the video, below.  This guy is very lucky. Always count to ten with your weapon pointed downrange if it doesn't fire.
