Keep trying to settle the issue name calling or is it “name calling”? I am struggling with that public school education.

Well, your either a troll or a retard. I was trying to be nice.

You know the concept I was explaining - you just like to keep picking nits.

The public education comment was because you seem to be able to read but your comprehension is in the toilet.

This is the last post I’ll make in this thread so have fun playing with yourself.

As much as I have a lifetime of experience around firearms , hunting, competition, military, law enforcement, contractor etc .... I still wear at the very least a spectra IIIA rated soft body armor, and Z87 rated shooting glasses on the ranges . Hazards are many from just other shooters much less my own possibilities for errors. I have an extensive blow out kit (BOK) in my range bag as well as simple basics on me like quikclot, IDF blood stopper aka combat tampon and a tourniquet.

Smith Z87 rated shooting glasses are pricy yet I’ve seen those save eyesight on a few occasions . Ricochets , ND/AD’s happen . I spend at least 3 days a week on either a range at work, a public range or private range. Any one of them, any given day, be they professional or amateur , experienced or novice I see safe shooters more often than unsafe yet a lapse in attention to the task at hand etc does happen to the best and worst shooters regarding handling skills. Sadly.

Prayers for this family......Stay Safe Joe !

Well said, gentlemen, well said. There's little more I can add. This family is the salt of the Earth -- the last ones who would ever deserve anything like this to befall them.

On a good note, their GoFundMe drive was around $18K this time yesterday and is over $30K now. With six other kids to care for, that gets them over any financial hurdles anyway.

Stay safe. You never know when your number's going to come up.

My comprehension seems to be fine. I understand name calling and misdirection as a means of obfuscating your lost argument. Please do not leave until you explain the difference between accidents and “accidents”.
