My first handgun was an XDm in 9mm. For awhile, I would top off my gun with the +1 in the chamber by inserting the cartridge directly down the chamber and then releasing the slide. Thankfully, a buddy observed me doing that and warned me to never do that with a handgun.

1994. Hohenfels Germany. 1/4 Infantry. My company brought a dozen M-60 machine guns back after running the M-60 range at Graf for the previous four days. We were breaking them down inside our building and one of the machine guns still had a round in it. It went off and into the floor. The Army had that little crater patched up within a couple days.

2002. The day after Thanksgiving. I pointed one of my "empty" S&W .357 magnum revolvers at the basement wall and pulled the trigger. Fourteen years later my wife still won't let me patch the little crater that the hollow point made when it impacted with the concrete wall. Says it's a good reminder for me to always make sure that the guns are really empty.

My first shotgun was a Mossberg 500 I bought from a friend. This was before he and I knew much about the advantages of having a shotgun with a stock for home defense, so he decided to leave it with just the pistol grip and with a vertical foregrip on the pump. Anyway, The day before I sold it, I accidentally pulled the trigger while pumping it, but thankfully the safety was on so I did not discharge the shot....into my wall...
