    The victim told police that before the incident, he was cleaning his firearm

    getting shot by own gun and cleaning it, these often come together, maybe is safer to keep them dirty

      If you get shot cleaning your gun you have MAJORLY fucked up.

      Like, you have to try to be that level of stupid and it still happens. People are just incredibly dumb it would seem. I mean, I know we must have a ton of morons in this country in order for Trump to get elected because … Everything.

        Not unless you’re really dumb, people accidentally shoot themselves with “unloaded” guns all the time.

      Somehow he was cleaning it and it still had rounds to fire or he cleaned and reloaded and left it unsecured so it had rounds to fire. Sounds like sort of person who should own a gun for sure.
