Fun being a wolf in a pact isn't it, try being a sheep once in awhile. It will widen your views.We have cannons? Are those for site supporters only? Or is this another 50-quality-posts qualification thing?
Will someone just please explain the rules about when we are allowed to acknowledge that someone made a mistake and that we should all be careful not to make the same mistake?
Ever?
Do we need an INGO safe space where negligent discharges are ignored as inevitable?
Look, everybody knows how guns work.

There are two types of gun owners... Those that have had negligent discharges and those who haven't yet...
3 types.: those who never will. I do not believe that every gun owner has had a ND in their life or before they die. I don't buy it and I've never seen any evidence to support it.
You walk in the pasture long enough you will step in some time, just because you haven't yet only proves you still need to walk in the pasture longer.
None of are infallible.
Well some are, those children still born and the aborted ones.
Bad deal all the way around but at least it was an LEO and not a 'civilian'. When it's LEO's it might make the news but that's about it. If it would have been a 'civilian' then the anti's never let it go.

There were at least 11 ADs by civilians in Marion Co that resulted in injury last month alone. How many made the news?
Kirk, I appreciate your getting out in front of this issue. You are absolutely right, and we all need reminded that, no matter our experience or training, we can't ignore the rules. When you do, bad things happen.
Still, with the way you word your points, I get the distinct impression that you bought your pistol already in a holster, and you have never once removed it. Just an observation.
I don't think this is too hard. Guns are dangerous, the fewer opportunities one has to do something stupid--like shoot up a courthouse, the fewer bad things happen.
Don't play gun show. We all have guns, just leave them be.
Here no one was injured. Let's be thankful for this but let's also learn from this.
I agree completely. But you're like the Pillsbury Doughboy. Something about you just makes me want to poke you.
I have started running and cut down on the beer (and pretzels). Hopefully I shall not remind you of the Doughboy soon.
Anywho, topics such as this are vital, because it is something we can control. I know gun accidents (I am including NDs, everyone stop clutching your pearls) are way down, but every incident hurts our cause with those on the fence as MDA's agitprop gains more traction when things like this happen.
Yes, he was an agent of the government, but we can still learn from it. Don't play gun show. Respect the gun, it is a snake and can bite.
Don't talk about snakes. They're scarier than guns.
