The shotgun was open but it kinda got me too. I watched it a few times and I would change the buddy I go shooting with.
I don't care if your finger has an owie, a 12 gauge will kill you. Suck it up and respect the gun and your shooting partner.
I had someone once... An old guy not really into guns but wanted to try, shoot one of the .22's. It was a gevarm semi-auto open bolt blowback rifle. He fired half the shells and then with his hand still on the grip and finger still on the trigger turn towards us and ask us a question, pointing it at my stomach. I almost dug a hole for him that afternoon. I guess you never assume anything with a loaded gun. I assumed he wasn't that stupid. Lesson learned and the end of the friendship.
