That's a VERY expensive shotgun.

They only put the really good stuff behind glass!   LOL

Still agin 'em.

Years ago, I wanted to demonstrate to a girlfriend just why it's standard procedure to leave an empty hole in the cylinder of a revolver.   We were at a friend's cabin, and I explained that we do that because, if something like this happens . . . BANG!   Mutual screaming, cussing, underwear-changing, and an eventual finding of the bullet inside the stove pipe ensued.   I'm alive (and so's she, far as I know) because it was ingrained in me from my very youngest days that you always point a gun in a safe direction.  

Training is key.   And some proof against even idiocy.

Well, thanks for the "reasonably intelligent" vote, but beyond that, uh, wrong, essentially.  Had I NOT recognized "the extreme dangers of a gun" I'd have shot myself or my girlfriend.  I did manage that recognition; I handled the gun in such a manner as to render it safe even in the face of the most unexpected event; I'm alive.  Simple enough.

And if you can't manage that, then no, actually, you shouldn't drive!

  what were the rest of them doing?

This is an example of why we anti-gun people find guns so disturbing. Even people who would be otherwise considered reasonably intelligent do not recognize the extreme dangers of a gun.

That poor young man who shot himself in the head...you would think that anyone who is smart enough to be able to drive a car would understand that you would NEVER point a gun at anyone or anything and pull the trigger like that.

BTW, 31 Chicago Public School children have been killed through gun violence this school year, many of them innocent bystanders.

Yesterday, a friend of mine's nephew was trying to show off a gun (his family didn't know he had one) to his GF.  He put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger.  He died last night at the hospital.  He was 18 years old. 

I agree with cc_rider that we need gun safety!!  How does an 18 yr old buy a gun?  Probably off the street from someone for cash.

Sad.  Very sad.

I had a similar incident with a Ruger 357 Magnum that I once owned. I was on the learning curve that day...
