Another senseless tragedy

[risingsun]

Why are people so damn careless with guns? Just no reason for someone to lose a life this way. With a gun: respect it, check it, and recheck it. If not it could happen to one of ours.

I worked with a guy who was hunting in a blizzard with his buddy. When they got back to the vehicle they just jumped in to warm up without unloading guns...one goes off, shoots thru the floor but a chip of plastic floormat flies up and pokes out the other guy’s eye. His insurance sued the other guy for negligence in not unloading his gun...$40k medical bill

I have personally seen a dog fire a gun. Duck hunting with a semiautomatic and the gun was set down with the action up as we tend to do. In one step the dog flipped off the safety and squeezed the trigger. A real scare but no one was hurt. Be careful when setting down your guns and don’t trust the safety.
