I was taught three rules about gun safety:

1. Always assume a gun is loaded
2. Never point a gun at someone unless you intend to use it on that person
3. Never bring a loaded gun into the house.

Well, one out of four ain't bad. He probably knew his neighbor.

At least by sight.

I went through all his stuff on another site and it just didn't seem to add up. But he did get his 15 minutes of fame.
Look it over as if you knew it was posted by HCI.

PS Note I didn't say it was impossible just I don't believe it. Why would a 44 mag bullet ricochet off of a formica table?

I don't know, I went to his site and read the following freakiness:

Long story short, guy next door has an accidental discharge in his bathroom that ends up in my bedroom.

I stopped reading at that point...

Seriously, though, I see no real reason to doubt the story as told/shown. A .44 Mag would probably pretty easily riccochet off the table if the shot angle was low enough (i.e. a LOT of horizontal momentum, but very little verticall, hence very little downward penetration potential)
