We disagree about the potential number of accidents, Chas. You refuse to admit that everyone walking around with a gun is an accident waiting to happen. I will concede that a gun, unloaded and locked in a safe, is unlikely to be much of a threat to a 3d party. But, then, what is the point of having it if it is too far away to protect one from his/her paranoia?
Anyway, back to work documenting the known fuck-ups of L-ARGOs which Chas insists are so rare.

I can hear the fucking NRA now. "Putting your gun on SAFETY is dangerous. Don't do it!!!!"

It did not "accidentally" go off. They were playing with it and someone pulled the fucking trigger.

Quote:HICKORY, N.C.—Two unrelated accidental shootings took place within quarter of a mile of each other this weekend.
On Sunday afternoon, a 42-year-old man in the parking lot of Academy Sports on U.S. Route 70 accidentally shot himself in the leg while changing the ammunition in his handgun.
Officers at the scene did not release the man’s name, but said his injury was not life threatening.
The day before, a 24-year-old man accidentally shot himself–also in the leg, and also while he was sitting in his vehicle–in the parking lot of Valley Hills Mall, which is adjacent to the Academy Sports parking lot.
The man was attempting to put his .45 caliber handgun on safety when it went off and hit an artery in his leg, causing life-threatening blood loss.

Quote:STILLWATER, Oklahoma -
Police in Stillwater are still trying to figure out how a man was accidentally shot in the head at a weekend party.
Alex Vierling, 21, was at a party after midnight Sunday in the 500 block of S. West Street. In a news release, Stillwater police state: "Initial reports indicate the shooting occurred when one of the party goers was handling a pistol they thought was a toy."
The gun fired and Alex was hit in the head. The former OSU student was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead, just five days before Christmas.

Quote:Presumably, Charlene Ross was not happy when a shotgun went off Sunday morning at their son's Ohio home while her 77-year-old husband was checking to see if it was loaded. Presumably, the 75-year-old was especially not happy when birdshot struck her in the neck. But she probably now sees the silver lining: While treating her, doctors discovered she has an arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, that could be life-threatening,
