Erm I was killing a chicken snake in the hen house when I was about 12 and didn't think about what was on the other side of a plywood wall. #6 Pellets from a 20 guage shotgun don't stop for 1/4 inch plywood lemme tell ya. Besides killing the snake I also drilled two chicken feeders with mason jar tops, a large gravity feed waterer, and gave one hen a limp. Dang good thing it all actually belonged to me, my parents weren't real danged happy anyway but at least it was MY pocket it was comming out of. I thought long and hard about ANY shot I made after that.
Well either that was the stupidest thing I ever did or the time I was about 16 and was useing a can of B12 chemtool out of my truck to light brush on fire (mini flame thrower
) My grandfather informed me that the flame could run back up in the can and blow me up (In less polite words) so in a fit of anger I tossed the can into a large pile of brush that was on fire. We sat behind the truck for a few minutes before I got tired of waiting for it to go off, pulled out the old 20 guage and drilled it from about 25 yards. Well needless to say the fireball was impressive, that part of the hayfield grows better now anyway, and by some act of the good Lord Almighty nobody got hurt.
Then again maybe it was the time that I. . . . . erm nevermind.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
