You probably do not assume the gun is unloaded.  Perhaps you check to make sure?

I think some of these jerks check by pulling the trigger.

Again.  Nice work, L-ARGOs.

I've had plenty of UD's KUSA, once, with a 249- it ran the rest of the bando out before it stopped.  Strangely, no one was shot - didn't even graze a motherfucker.......   I find it amazing that these folks can, on accident, with a single round from a handgun - manage to do what I could not with a belt fed machine gun.  Imagine what they could accomplish if they actually tried....eh?

Am I the only one who doubts the wisdom of giving a 15 year old kid a pistol to keep in his room?

A 19-year-old Onalaska man was accidentally shot in the leg on the 200 block of King Street by his 22-year-old roommate, who was making the cat chase the red dot produced by his handgun’s laser sighting system.

I think the cat had more brains than the both of them.

Another L-ARGO who did everything right....until that one time.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) – The family of a 12-year-old mentally impaired boy who accidentally fired a gun through a wall, and killed a family friend says the boy had never played with guns before, and doesn’t understand what he did.

“My grandson, he got up and woke up before anybody in the house, and he got in my room, and it’s usually locked — I usually lock it when I go to bed — but this morning I got up and got a drink of water,” said Hummel.  “He was in my room, and he snuck in my room when I was still sleeping and was in my pockets and he said he was getting change he told me and found the gun safe keys.”

Hummel went on to say, the guns are “always locked up. [I] always had the key on me so no one could touch them, he said he got the gun out and he was looking at it and found a shell in the gun safe, and put it in the gun and closed it. He said the shell was stuck in the gun, I was trying to get it out and I accidentally hit the trigger and the gun went off.”

Yep.  That's all it takes in Gun Nut Nation.  One tiny fuck up.


Being "responsible" only helps so much.

Child, 3, fatally shot in Jackson

Witnesses say child was playing with gun

Investigators said witnesses told them the child got hold of a gun and shot himself.

How do you suppose that happens?

You'd think one of the safety rules would be "don't point a loaded gun at your own balls."

Actually, that is highly recommended.

Actual research.  Includes a link to the study.  One hopes the words aren't too complex for Gun Nut Nation.

Right-to-carry gun laws linked to increase in violent crime, Stanford research shows

Stanford research reaffirms that right-to-carry gun laws are connected with an increase in violent crime. This debunks – with the latest empirical evidence – earlier claims that more guns actually lead to less crime.
