Booze & guns....
People don't seem to learn:
booze & guns don't mix!
I read the article too. The hapless gun owner had
three firearms laying around.
What I don't get is his reported "put the gun to his head" bit.
I get a bit miffed when-ever anyone does that with their fingers let alone a firearm.
In Florida too, I read of a young man(25) who was "repairing" a 5.56mm AR when it fired & struck a guy in his living room.
Local law enforcement call it a tragic accident, but I think there may be more to it.
I had a M-16a1 5.56mm for four years in my teens/early 20s, while in the US military. I
never cleaned or fixed it when it had live rounds.
To my knowledge, the AR owner was not charged by police.
