Sad sad story

I hope this thread is a bit more civil than the last. No one should bury their child.

Feel so bad for this guy. Condolences.

It's still sad. God, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes. I don't think I could ever forgive myself.

Accidents happen. That's why they're called, "accidents".
Safety rules were violated,(always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction) and tragedy occurred. This serves to prove, it really does "only take once", and also demonstrates the dangers of the lowly .22.

Every class I've taught has been warned about the dangers of hot brass.
I made a point to point out that this is a very real possibility in most indoor ranges that have shooting stalls.

I never saw anyone point a gun in an unsafe direction due to hot brass. MANY other reasons, but not hot brass.

My heart goes out to the family and friends, and to the range workers and attendees that witnessed the event.
None will ever forget.

We had a young mother in the family roll a mini van over her child. What a terrible thing, knowing that your child could be alive if you took a little extra care. Some people suggested suing the car maker. There was nothing wrong with the car, mom was distracted and did not do the right things. I feel sorry for the father, but respect him for telling the truth.

Wow what a story. It seems like a good family and a good man. I hope he continues to deal ok with it each day. I've got a lot of respect for him in how he's handling it, but it's so sad.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to churchmouse again.

This accident makes my heart ache.
A similarly avoidable and sickeningly terrible accident, and not the first time, likewise hurts the hear to read about - Child killed by bush hog in Garland County | KATV

Have seen hot brass on outdoor ranges have folks pointing guns other than safe.

What a tragic situation. I have to give respect to the dad to taking responsibility for his fault in this though. No one looking to shift blame there. What an awful situation though. Love, prayers and respect towards that man / family.
