Man shoots self in buttocks in Brighton Home Depot with gun he was carrying

[mbperrin]

87. No luck involved. No trigger pulled itself. If a person is so unconscious that they

do not know where their gun is nor the conditions under which it will fire (EVERY time!), they have no business carrying or owning any firearm or other dangerous item, steak knives and the like.

I'd like to see 90 days in jail, medium size fine $10,000-$20,000, say, and public ridicule for the rest of his life.

Concern for his employment? Why should I be? He has no concern for the safety of others nor his own, so why I would give a shit about him when he doesn't is beyond me.

I grew up around guns, owning guns, and I can assure you that if this happened when my dad was still alive, that a butt wound from a gun would be the least of my worries. He had paraphrased "you can't fix stupid" long before it became a movie line.

Immediate and public punishment with some gravity may, may, MAY make some other dumbass think for a moment about how a gun fires and to take measures to prevent those exact and particular circumstances from occurring. See? I'm an educator at heart, no matter how stupid or uncaring the pupil.
