Is Your Pistol Oven Safe?

"Handgun forgotten inside oven fires off multiple rounds in Virginia home after overheating," reports the New York Post. From the article:

    The department said that firefighters responded to a house fire Thursday evening after the homeowner reported that the home’s oven had exploded.

    Upon arrival at the residence, firefighters opened the oven and found a gun melted to the steel grates.

    “It turns out, someone turned the oven on with the gun inside, the weapon heated up, and five rounds went off,” Chesterfield Fire and EMS wrote.

The article also notes that "[b]ullets [sic] need to reach around 400 degrees before they can spontaneously discharge on their own, according to Online Texas LTC, a firearms training course."

    Looking at the photograph of the pistol melted to the oven rack, it appears to be a Sig P320.
