“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
Another case of neighborly politeness:
The woman was taken to hospital but ultimately died.
(snip)
No charges were filed. Police said the shooting appears to be a tragic accident at this time.
How shall I put it?
Any “responsible gun owner” who cleans a firearm without first making sure it’s unloaded is not in any way “responsible.” He or she is negligent.
I suspect that, if police would stop calling these events “accidents” and start calling them what they truly are–negligence–well, it couldn’t hurt and it might help.
Aside:
As I have mentioned before, I suspect that, in the gun nut thesaurus of portable phallus phraseology, “clean” is a synonym for fondle, stroke, caress, etc. If actual cleaning were taking place, unloading would more likely hav–oh, never mind.
