>>Police say a Goochland County man accidentally killed himself while playing a Russian roulette-type game at a party<<

Hopefully he had not previously procreated.

Seriously, it is yahoos like this who don’t know the 2 Holy Commandments of guns (much less the rest) that make it harder to fight off the leftist flood of gun-grabbers...

[Fido969]

Well, he won’t do that again...

[Gene Eric]

That’s not an accident.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"Russian roulette-type" game is code for "all the chambers were loaded."

Goochland man fatally shoots self in Russian roulette game

A 20-year-old Goochland County man has died after a game of Russian roulette, Sheriff James Agnew said.

Christopher Ryan Benson of Jackson Shop Road died Thursday when he put a .22-caliber revolver to his head and pulled the trigger, Agnew said.

Agnew said some young people were drinking and partying outside in the 2300 block of Camelback Road late Thursday.

“It was an outside party down in a field,” he said.

Benson, an Army reservist, picked up the gun after Gum Spring resident David Cash Raymond, 20, brought it out and, insisting it was unloaded, put it to his own head and pulled the trigger with no effect, Agnew said.

“Raymond put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger twice,” Agnew said. After Raymond put the gun down, Benson picked it up and fired the fatal shot.

Raymond was charged with reckless handling of a firearm, sheriff’s officials said. He was released and will face a preliminary hearing April 1 in Goochland General District Court, the officials said.

Two young women were charged with underage possession of alcohol.

Benson’s body was taken to the state medical examiner’s office in Richmond.

“Alcohol and guns, excessive drinking, they just don’t mix,” Agnew said Saturday. “It’s just senseless and stupid.”

Rule 1: Never play Russian Roulette with an automatic.

The other trick that these morons do is to pull the clip from a semi-auto, not realizing that the chambered round stays chambered. A quick flash is the last thing they ever see.

Absolutely NOT an accident. Might have even have been Murder if he pulled a “see. It’s not loaded”.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Does this mean he is disqualified from being a Darwin Award Nominee?

“Alcohol and guns, excessive drinking, they just don’t mix,” Agnew said Saturday.

I'm harboring serious doubts that this guy was very bright when he was sober.

[umgud]

An assault weapons ban and universal background checks would have prevented this tragedy.

[Chipper]

The idiot who brought the gun out, pulled the trigger twice, and set it down is still alive. So he has a chance to procreate.

[Secret Agent Man]

Playing “Russian Roulette” is not an accidental killing.

You’re being an idiot on purpose. It’s no accident. Accidents are unexpected and certainly unplanned. If you play a game like this it is hardly unexpected and you cannot say they are unplanned.

Rule 1: Never play Russian Roulette with an automatic.

And rule number 2: Never play Russian Roulette with anything.

[Secret Agent Man]

Upon reading the story, it is inaccurate to call this Russian Roulette.

A guy brought out a gun and said it was empty and put it to his head and pulled the trigger twice.

Then another guy picked it up and pulled the trigger and killed himself.

That is not Russian Roulette. Russian Roulette is one somewhere in the chamber, the chamber is spun, both people know there’s one in there, and they start pulling the trigger until one dies or backs out.

Both are idiotic, but this was not Russian Roulette.

Absolutely. /s

[MtnClimber]

Never play Russian roulette with a semi auto!

[MtnClimber]

You beat me to it!

Party pooper.
