Former West Point football player dies in accidental shooting at Connecticut home | Fox News

So senseless.

What a stupid way to show a gun is "safe." It's sad, but still negligence.

 

[poptab]

That is a horrible story.

If only he would have racked the slide first.

RIP. Sounds like he was a great guy.

 

[deviljunkie]

goes to show that you MUST follow the four basic safety rules. Really unfortunate event.

 

[terrythegamer]

Must not have known all guns are loaded guns and to show it was safe should have left the slide open

Does anyone else put an UNLOADED gun to their head and pull the trigger? I cant imagine even doing that...

Same here, What a tragedy, sounds like he was a really cool guy.

I don't even like looking down the barrel AFTER I have stripped and cleaned any gun. Just the thought of what could happen creeps me out.

This guy deserves a Darwin Award. I mean who does that? Who would point a gun at their own head and pull the trigger to prove that it's unloaded?

You know......... it's funny you should ask that..................

I hear tell there are certain members of this very board that would point
a gun they know is loaded at their head and beat on it with a hammer
to prove it won't go off.

I'm not joking.

I am at a loss for words. That is the kind of idiotic and negligent behavior that make all gun owners look like careless fools in the eyes of the public.

Well, it was a Glock so it's perfectly safe.

 

[Dead Duck]

I just want to know what the Hell was going through this guys head!

















Was it to early for this - Sorry, I'll try again tomorrow.

"One round was hidden in the gun's chamber."

Really? The one was "hidden" in the gun? Must be really good at hide and seek

[Hookeye]

Not a tragedy when stupid takes itself out.

I'll 2nd the nomination

Probably more to this story then we will ever know.

This. How many gun "accidents" are really suicides or criminal activity?
