Told his buddy' "It's not loaded, see?" Put it against his head and pulled the trigger.

It was loaded.

[Gman]

"It went off."

No, it was fired.

And they said you couldn't fix stupid.

[DEAGLER]

?Waiting for toxicology report?. That will not be needed. Pure stupidity

[TEAMRICO]

Pure stupidity is right, 100% uncut.

Guess he failed the first rule of firearms safety : “ Treat every firearm with the respect due a loaded gun.

It might be, even if you think it isn’t.“

[beast556]

He played the stupid game and came in first place.

[Eric P]

Sucks to be the witness and have stuck in your head forever.

Apparently you can fix stupid... with a 45.

[Great-Kazoo]

Thought this was another public range thread.

What he said


Still would prefer he'd not have been an example

.45 Colt to the head. Definitely a closed casket funeral.

Too many people die from the stupidity of handling an "unloaded" firearm. I guess it was too much effort to just roll out the cylinder and visually verify it actually was unloaded.

Stupid is as stupid does.

We lost a friend due to a stupid mistake. She had a new Ruger SR1911 9mm that she'd told me was stiff and difficult to operate. I know damn good and well she was monkeying with it, cleared the chamber, and THEN dropped the mag, not realizing that she'd actually loaded another round and that the pistol didn't have a magazine safety. Stupid Aurora cops said it was a suicide, she had NO reason to do that, she was loving life, her kids, and grandkids. But that Ruger was pissing her off.
