"The man joked that there was one way to find out if it was loaded and, at that point, he reportedly put the rifle in his mouth and pulled the trigger,"

thus putting him in serious contention for the Darwin Award.

He had to have been significantly suicidal before that.

He wasn’t just stupid.

Well, technically he was correct.

Orally fixated Lefty? Opening the breach is easier.

(Owned guns for over 45 years, never put a muzzle in my mouth, although I am guilty of pissing down some breaches.So much for wet interface with firearms. LOL.)

I hope he can recover so someone can ask him why he did it. That would even be more interesting.

Article spreading the illusion that all fire arms owners are crazy. Guns are inherently dangerous, they are mouth magnets? Buahahahahahaha!

"I was holding the rifle one second, and the next thing I knew, it just flew up to my mouth on its own!"

What a laugh.

He’s not in contention just yet. Remember, to win a Darwin Award, you have to remove yourself from the gene pool. Usually that involves death, but castrations also qualify.

no drugs or booze involved? sure. I’m betting it was a “hole muh beer and watch this” smooth move moment.

That's not a "tragic accident"

That's serious stupidity

Colour My World. Reminds me of the sad, absurd demise of Terry Kath.

An idiot and his gun are soon parted.
