Four year old shoots wife of Tenn. sheriff
First the dark humor: That kid must've really hated that woman.
Now that everyone hates me-
Ok no, seriously. I can almost hear it: "Creed, exposing a death by a gun? Aren't you, like, one of the staunchest pro-gun-ownership members on this forum? Why would you do THIS?"
To point out something from a view I don't really think anyone on this forum tries to think from; the view from an extremely responsible gun owner, reading this sort of shit.
Allow me to educate why I, as a responsible gun owner, find this fucking god-awful. Me, in particular. The subjective view.
The man was showing his gun collection to a group of people all at once. FUCK-UP NUMBER ONE. NEVER bring out a multitude of firearms if they are not on your person, EVER. If you are showing your pieces, you show them one at a time and secure them after each showing. The guns were loaded. FUCK-UP NUMBER TWO. YOU NEVER, EVER, BRING OUT A LOADED GUN TO SHOW SOMEONE. ESPECIALLY IF CHILDREN ARE IN THE AREA. I can't emphasize that enough! I would've gone all bolditalicunderlines but at that point it'd just come off as comical. I simply can't say how huge of an absolute "NO!!" that is. You never, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, bring out LOADED GUNS to show to people, doesn't matter who the fuck they are! ESPECIALLY if there's children in the vicinity!! And the guns were not safed. FUCK-UP NUMBER THREE! REALLY?! The guns were not safed. And they were loaded. And he had multiple guns out, showing them to people.
This article's ending point is a fucking joke.
Yeah- OK. Whatever you say, Bryan. He's a "trained law enforcement officer." He's a fucking deputy in a podunk redneck town in the middle of fucking nowhere, something tells me his qualifications to be a law enforcement officer are pretty fucking slim, especially given the situation.
It's a tragedy this happened, it really is, but you know what? This guy has no one to blame but himself.
This sort of thing, I read it, I shake my head and go "great. All this shit I would never do, this guy does, and everyone's going to add fuel to the 'take nearly every gun away from everyone' fire again. Idiots like this are going to rob me of my responsibly safe-kept firearms. Great."
This situation could have been avoided by taking four VERY simple precautions:
1: Take one gun out of the safe at a time, pass it around, and make sure it is in someone's hands, away from any children.
2: Ensure that no children enter the room when the firearm is being passed around, nor that they might enter.
3: Do not EVER keep firearms loaded, ESPECIALLY not for the sake of showing other people the firearm unless you alone are handling it and are taking proper precautions while firing it at a range, and ONLY then.
4: ALWAYS keep your fucking safety on! EVERY safety! If that bitch has three safeties, THEN KEEP 'EM ALL ON. I don't give a fuck if it'll take you an extra half-second to fire on an intruder in your house, you'll still win the draw by force of surprise regardless, so that's not a fucking excuse.
The fact that all four of these basic safety procedures were ignored resulted in this shooting. Not the gun. The irresponsibility of its owner.
Just trying to make a point, here. Hopefully people understand what it is.

Quote:"He took all the precautions, he's a trained law enforcement officer, trains with weapons all the time," Bryan told local station WTVF.
