I can't post the exact words I thought to myself after watching that! It sounds as if she will recover. Another example of the people involved not giving the firearm the respect it demands in terms of safe handling. Hope they learn from that.

Last words spoken, "Eet ain't low-dead!"

It just goes to show that all guns should be treated as loaded at all times.

I agree. Thats why Cooper said FOUR rules!

There are some people that can not understand what a gun does.
It just doesn't register to them that it's a deadly weapon when properly OR not properly handled.
The more I think about it the more I think that Darwin guy is on to something.

That woman is damn lucky.

Too complicated, not specific regarding observable actions. So simple:

1) Don't point it at anything you don't wanna shoot
2) Don't put the booger hook on the bang switch until ready to shoot
3) Know what the hell you're shooting at (or might hit if you miss)

MUZZLE, FINGER, TARGET. IT'S THAT SIMPLE FOLKS.

If they do something stupid in their car the gunshow shouldn't be in play! LOL

And she looked like she was out of his "caliber" pun might be intended!

Except, when considering Rule 1 of 4, the person who would be handling the firearm realizes that he should leave his loaded firearm safely holstered, instead of passing it around the car.

These are the people that give gun owners a bad name.
