In reply to TomB. Modern firearm designs handle the issue of a case head failure by directing the pressure through the mag tube causing the mag floorplate to fail, releasing that pressure and in that process, eject remaining the rounds out, leaving the mag tube retained in the grip, using it to structurally protect the paw of the shooter. However in the oven, the heat softened plastic floor plate and spring pressure probably popped the floor plate off and the rounds burst out to the floor of the oven and cooked off there.

I don’t know…I guess 5 rounds coulda cooked off. But the gun pictured doesn’t look damaged at all. Wouldn’t those rounds have blown up the grip? Looks like the oven rack melted thru to the mag.

Willing to bet a LEO was responsible. This scenario happens to them often. Bad idea relayed in formal training? Bad idea discussed over drinks in a bar? Bad idea passed on in the locker room? The world may never know.

I look at it this way, burglars don’t usually check ovens when robbing a place, so that’s a good place to keep a valuable gat…

Forget background checks. Firearm purchases should require IQ test.
