Shooting Accident

[spleify]

Man thats scary. I hope everything turns out ok and those involved are alright.

It bears repeating:

1. All guns are always loaded!
2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy!
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target!
4. Always be sure of your target and what is beyond!

Yep. Virtually all accidents can be avoided by following these rules. I would add make sure you have a good backstop too.

Anybody else find it funny that they managed to shoot each other at exactly the same time?

Been said here before: Play stupid games...

Part of me want to ask, "Why are there so many stupid people out there?", but the other part realizes what a rhetorical question that is.

I really don't understand how some people function in society. Or, sometimes, at all.

More Darwin awards runners-up.

Reminds me of the old days. Heard shooting on my grandfathers ranch. Found the people, a man with his wife and three kids. They had climbed the fence (fully posted private property and no trespassing).
They were shooting toward the top of a hill with cattle walking around in their line of fire and our house over the top of the hill. I thought my grandfather was going to kill the guy with his bare hands when he tried to justify himself and argue...

Tragic! This is exactly the kind of shit, besides people intentionally shooting each other, that the gun community does not need. As stated earlier with some simple common sense, this could have been avoided. I smell a law suit, and possibly and IQ test for future gun owners.

I'd be happy to submit to an IQ test to buy a firearm.


.... as long as approval for welfare comes with mandatory sterilization.

I'd be happy to submit to an IQ test to buy a firearm.


.... as long as approval for welfare comes with mandatory sterilization, monthly drug tests, and an enforced time limit to obtain a job or your SOL.

Fixed for ya!

I don't think there is ANYTHING funny at all about moronic adults handling loaded firearms in the presence of children. PERIOD. Gun Safety should ALWAYS be the number 1 rule taught to children to prevent such accidents. Its because of douchebags like these that we keep losing good shoot sites. I hope they are charged with reckless endangerment to a child.
