Negligent Discharge: 100% Preventable 100% of the time

Normally I only see a couple of negligent discharge deaths each month, but this morning I woke up to three reports in a single day.  This is distressing, since all three deaths were wholly preventable.

Profound Stupidity Has Consequences (Imagine That!)

Published February 27, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Stupid Human Tricks


Human beings are amazing creatures.  We’re creative, astounding beings most of the time.  However, there are times when the Gene Pool needs cleaning and in those moments our genetic code’s self-correcting mechanism is extremely powerful.

If you're going to stick a gun in your pants you better know how to remove it safely!  That's a lesson William Rood of Elizabethton, Tennessee, won't soon forget, I'm sure.
