A very sad reminder of the importance not pointing the muzzle of a gun at anything you do not intend to destroy.

Sad and unnecessary.

Story didnt say whether he was alone or had someone there with him, that'd of been terrifying if he had a significant other or a kid with him. Prayers to his fam.

It's amazing how many people forget or don't get the very simple and basic rules of safe gun handling.Originally Posted by Badey

Could have had a slow primer,it is recommended that on a "dud" you keep the muzzle pointed downrange for 30 seconds,I usually rack the unfired case out on the ground,but I'm not looking down the barrel of a gun I just pulled the trigger on and heard a click instead of bang.
When I see unsafe gun handling at the range,I will point it out to the person what they are doing and why it is unsafe,sometimes you don't get a chance

Unforturnatly, there's generally no second-chances when you fail to follow the rules after something goes wrong. You, or anyone, telling someone of their unsafe practices probley saved a life down the road.

Guns are fun. Carrying is fun. Pressing the political issue is fun. Don't forget you are having fun with a device that is designed solely to end lives. RIP.
