after reading this thread..I find I know of at least a dozen AD stories from Friends and Family. I have never had one..yet.

I sold an AK47 to a Friend here in Yuma years ago. He walked out of my house with it, aimed across the street and set one off. Shot the drivers side mirror off of Ellie's car, bullet went directly accross the street into an elderly ladies house, shot her chandilier off the cieling and went into her china cabinet. She was sitting there in the living room and thought a light bulb burst.
We went running over to see if anyone was kilt. Her living room was full of cascading wood dust & debris... She was quite calm about it all and said her late husband had had an AD in her house some years ago...
Cost my buddy about 500 bucks for the mirror and repairs to her house & contents.
He still claims he dosen't know how it happened. I said..regardless, it wouldn't have had you not pulled the trigger.
