Another life lost due to inadvertent "freedom missiles." Well....at least he died in the cause of providing freedom for gun nuts!

Quote:An eastern Pennsylvania man was awoken early Tuesday when the loaded rifle in his lap accidentally fired, blasting through the wall of an adjacent apartment.
Greg Winnick, of Wind Gap, said he had been watching YouTube videos about a new trigger for his AR-15 after installing one on his gun when he apparently dozed off at the computer with the gun cradled in his lap, reported The Express-Times.
The 37-year-old, who said he had been awake since midnight Sunday, told state police he had not realized the weapon was loaded.

I guess now he's compensating for real!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

I can't get over the fact that he drove to a friend's house after shooting himself in the dick. Must be part of the NRA field manual.

Apparently that manual does not include - 'make sure gun is unloaded before you wave it around.'

Quote:A central Pennsylvania man was accidentally shot and killed over the weekend by the guest of honor at a surprise birthday party.
Cody Gorsline was among about a dozen people at the party in Montoursville early Sunday morning to celebrate the birthday of Derek Gair, reported WNEP-TV.
Police said Gair took the 24-year-old Gorsline upstairs about 2 a.m. to show him a handgun, which accidentally fired as he handed the weapon to the victim.
Then, there are the more conventional ways of killing your kids.....

Another example of a well-trained gun wielder making one little mistake....

Quote:A Florida police officer mistakenly fired his rifle Wednesday morning inside a courthouse in Miami.
The officer was demonstrating a scenario to a judge during a training exercise when he accidentally fired a single shot from his department-issued AR-15.
At least he didn't hit anybody.

I didn't realize that police issue weapons had safeties.
