Re: Store Clerk Accidentally Shoots Himself in Alabama
It almost sounds like you think it's a good thing that the family of a man so stupid, literally child-like, could sue over something so idiotic. I assure you, the gun was there for a very legitimate and valid reason. Was he?  |

Re: Store Clerk Accidentally Shoots Himself in Alabama
I'm not American but I'm pretty sure that pointing a gun to your head when you're playing with the gun isn't one of the safety rules when it comes to firearms.

Re: Store Clerk Accidentally Shoots Himself in Alabama
(This post is for those with no gun background) With semi-autos, the chamber and magazine are covered up, and it takes specific knowledge and manipulations to determine if the gun is loaded and chambered. Such a gun is confusing for someone with no training who just want to know if it is loaded. So the clerk looks down the barrel in his search for bullets, not thinking he is grasping the gun by the grip and the trigger. With semi-autos that are stored chambered with safety on "fire" or equipped with a trigger safety (such as a Glock), the gun will shoot with a single light trigger pull and no other preparation. A store clerk may want to store the gun way in order to fire the gun ASAP. Somebody who has experience with long guns, target guns and revolvers may expect that the gun must be chambered, cocked, safety switched and/or squeezed with force to fire. They may not be aware that a semi-auto can fire simply by picking up the gun and lightly squeezing the trigger. |

Re: Store Clerk Accidentally Shoots Himself in Alabama
"trump voter" is now being widely used as a synonym for "idiot loser" very widely used  It would be really funny if you trump voters were to stay really mad at this and respond accordingly.  |

Re: Store Clerk Accidentally Shoots Himself in Alabama
you would be correct with that assumption. i worked a short time as a range officer at a very large outdoor range. (6 skeet towers). they wanted a very strict officer to work the rifle range area....you would not imagine the shit ive seen....guys looking down barrels....guys thinking they are "operators" waving ARs around, muzzling the whole lot of people.... then i got fired for being "too strict"  people complained becausei would get in there ass and embarrass the fuck out of them....or walk them off the grounds. well management didnt like that...then 8 months later a 13yo was shot in the leg with a high powered rifle, it fragged and ran up his intestines. bag for life.....momma sued for 15 million. then they closed soon after. fuck em |
