According to the police report, He had just finished cleaning a stainless steel Smith & Wesson 686 Magnum .357 revolver. While holding the weapon in his left hand and cycling the cylinder to ensure it was clean, He stated he did not realize the firearm was loaded.

He reportedly pulled the trigger, firing a single round that struck his pointer finger.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
