Play politely.

According to the report, the man’s wife said that she had been in her back yard when she heard a single gunshot.

The woman said she went to the front yard where her husband had been playing with their two sons.

Initially the man did not think he had been shot, the reports says, but he soon noticed blood on his pants and felt pain in his leg.

When deputies interviewed the man at the hospital he said he and his sons had been running races around their house while he was wearing a pistol with a new holster. According to the report, the man said he clipped the edge of a camper parked in his yard as he ran by, causing the gun discharge.

We are a society of stupid.

You can’t make this stuff up.

The victim of the self-inflicted gunshot said he had gone to the room he had at his place of employment and sat on his bed. He had forgotten he hid his weapon between the mattress and springs, which caused the weapon to fire and the bullet to graze his buttocks.

Fetishists Protest Destruction of Their Totem 0

From today’s local rag (more at the link):

When Karen Mallard posted a video of herself sawing her husband’s AR-15 rifle in half earlier this month, she was promoting her campaign for Congress and demanding tougher gun laws after the Parkland, Fla., massacre.

(snip)

Thousands of gun-rights advocates nationwide left angry, sarcastic and sometimes profane comments on her Facebook and Twitter accounts. They argued she should be locked up for illegally converting the weapon into a short-barreled rifle. As of Tuesday, her video had been viewed more than 3 million times, with more than 49,000 leaving comments.

Aside:

“Gun-rights advocates” is “firearm fetishists” misplet.

Slow learner.

At some point LeClair gave a loaded magazine to King. King then unwittingly loaded the fatal shot before the rifle was set aside.

Later, Sack picked up the rifle while the other three men were looking at their cell phones.

Sack told police that he looked through the scope but was unable to see because of what he thought was poor lighting. Not realizing the scope caps were down, Sack then swung the rifle towards King and touched the trigger, shooting King in the head.

Sack told police he “knew he should have treated the gun as if it were loaded” as he was instructed to do in hunter safety courses.
