My dad is the most straight up and down, do it once do it right, by the book, conscientious person I know, and he is like that with everything not just firearms, he preaches safety to all, and shoots for a living also, some on here probably know him through his involvement in pistol shooting and cowboy action. He managed to lock up the range a while back after everyone had left, pack his rangebag and gear away carefully in his truck, then proceed to drive home.
He had to stop at Waikouiti for fuel on the way home, hopped out of his truck, went to begin refuelling, and realised he was still wearing his holster, pistol and all! He reckoned he was horrified that he had made such a mistake without even thinking (I thought it was funny because I know how it would have horrified him... "Mr perfect" f**ked up!)
But it goes to show, that genuine mistakes can and do happen, we are, after all, only human.
