We’re the Only Ones Lighting Up Enough

He rushed back to get his cell phone and was using his Glock’s flashlight to try to find it in the trunk of the SUV. When he tried to holster his gun, he shot himself — yes, right in the butt cheek. [More]

When I wondered how this could have happened, I wasn’t expecting a comedy routine. Lesson learned.

Only one question really remains: How come they’re deliberately not releasing his name?

We’re the Only Ones Paigeing Enough

Secret Service agent assigned to Jill Biden injured in ‘negligent discharge’ at Philadelphia airport [More]

Shades of Lee Paige! Did “Dr. Jill” help him? Oh, wait– she’s not that kind of doctor?

This seems like a fair question: What was he doing “handling a service weapon”?

Home on the Range

Adams told deputies he had been shooting a new Glock .45-caliber handgun he bought for himself for Christmas, and he showed police where he had been shooting in his backyard at a Red Bull on the ground. [More]

So… what the hell’s this:

And what do those “basic rules” they sign off on in #14 say?

See, this is why we need to let Jonathan Lowy and Mexico sue Glock, right?

What a moron. The shooter, but OK, him too.

And to think prags argued it’s the absolutists who “make us all look bad.”

All By Its Own Self

…died from severe blood loss after a friend’s rifle accidentally discharged… friend pulled a rifle from its case in their vehicle, and it accidentally discharged. [More]

At least they got the headline partially right:

…killed by hunting partner

He packed it loaded,

He activated the trigger.

He had it pointed at his friend.

“Inexcusably negligent” is not the same as “accidental.”

About Those Four Rules

David only stuck his arm into the room and kept his head outside the doorway to avoid a possible ricochet. The bullet struck the buzzard, passed through the bird, exited a window, and struck Emma, who was outside. [More]

How would his every moment thereafter not be a nightmare hell?

Is it too soon to talk about becoming a Train SMART lecturer?

The Human Condition

Can negligent discharges be prevented? [More]

Most of them can, the stupid kind where someone is cleaning the gun, or leaves it for a kid to find…

When split seconds count and the adrenaline is flooding the system, training for such eventualities is the best minimizer.

I’ve never had an ND, but I did have a carelessness mishap, just yesterday.

I was going to make a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch and grabbed the toaster and the crumb tray latch caught on the shelving rack we keep it on, opening it and spilling the unemptied contents. I started to bitterly blame the objects and my wife just looked at me and instantly shut me down by saying “The gun went off.”

If Only They’d Disarm You and Me…

Teens hung out in a room with a gun. Now a Maryland father mourns. [More]

How many Maryland “gun law” violations can you count?

And there’s the obligatory Kris Brown quote, claiming “guns are ‘the number one killer’ of children and teens…”

It’s almost like “real reporter” Jasmine Hilton writes editorials instead of news…

An Aspiring Rapper

12-year-old shot dead by teenager while filming music video with loaded guns, cops say [More]

And just so we know what to place the blame on:

“There were some guns present, and one of them went off, shooting the 12-year-old, ultimately killing him,” the inspector said.

What kind of gun fanatic wouldn’t want all the laws it would take to stop that, and why?
