Not good. Feel for his family.

Proper holsters or cases are your friends.

All guns are always loaded. Can I even say that here?

Same guy that was arrested for showing up at his girlfriend's apartment in Greenwood and firing a shot in the parking lot from an AR-15.

So, after the AR incident. was the handgun legally possessed by Tipton?

 

[Spear Dane]

ND...not AD. Only a complete dumbass does what he did.

 

[bwframe]

Maybe Darwin?

 

[Hookeye]

Proly was gonna testify against Hillary...............

I want to know which gun and how. Wow.

Why keep saying it if you can't rationally defend it? It's a non sequitur response to negligence.

Condolences to the family; my son and I enjoyed the way he played the game.

In other news, a deputy in Alabama is trying to figure out how to make this incident evidence in a post-conviction relief filing.

That was one of my initial thoughts as well and then I have to go back to NOT blaming any gun, design, or flaws.
It just comes down to not acting responsible. Period

I'm with you in that but removing a bag from a car doesn't cause a gun to fire. Something else had to happen.

Yea, but I've got to go back to the bottom line. The gun was loaded and not handled as such.
I frequently have loaded guns in my trunk but none are chambered. The end where the hole is the bullet exit.
Maybe I'm just old fashioned and simple minded but always making sure safety comes first.

Yup.....in the bag loaded.
If it was a 1911 had to be C&L'd
If a Glock.....had to be chambered.
Negligence. Idiots with guns. Period.

Well yeah on both my friend.....as I am.....

But safety.....always safety. Never bag a gun chambered.

Guns tossed in a duffel bag with other loose items...

It wasn't that long along when we discussing a police officer shot with her pistol in her purse.

Why would you? It would be far better to discuss the problems related to improper transportation of firearms than pull out a logical fallacy. Wouldn't the NRA's three rules be more germane?

 

[jd4320t]

This article says he was reaching in the bag. That's a lot different than simply removing the bag from the vehicle.

At least he didn't manage to hurt or kill someone else. Stupidity has a price, however, it is best when it is paid only by the person directly responsible for the act of stupidity.

Katz was saying this morning that it looked like he was going to live initially. Then they lost him. Sad. Guns have been known to go off when stuff gets inside the trigger guard, just sayin.
