A horrible tragedy. Once more for the record:

The 4 Laws

I. All guns are always loaded.

II. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.

III. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.

IV. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Safety first. Some folks just don’t seem to understand that. Their big problem is they end up hurting someone else.

Bears repeating:

The 4 Laws

I. All guns are always loaded.

(My version is slightly different: ASSUME all guns are always loaded.)

II. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.

III. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.

IV. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Oh yeah, and to add one more: JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE DROPPED THE MAG DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NOT A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER!

Those sneaky guns. That barrel just loads itself whenever you drop the magazine, don’t it?

Now the immature snot has to live with this for the rest of his life.

Prayers up for everyone involved in this tragedy.

YES, every gun is ALWAYS loaded.

A heroic girl like Miss Peters would almost certainly forgive this young fool. Will he ever be able to forgive himself?

Our prayers are with this family for the horrible tragedy that occurred.

And while I certainly approve of the repeating of the rules of firearms, I will point out something else that could have prevented this from happening: not letting a minor hang out with an adult.

Are these IDIOTS ever ever ever going to learn?

I guess not, that’s why the word idiot was invented in the first place I suppose.

Poor girl saves two lives only to have hers taken by some meathead.

RIP Aubrey

[The Cajun]

I could not be in the same room with that little punk bastard.

RIP Aubrey Peters, you did good in your short life.

[martinidon]

What a complete dumbass. This is the kind of stuff that gives the gun grabbers reasons to take guns away.

How do you teach dumbasses like this the rules of handling a firearm.

Years ago someone at an indoor party I was attending decided to show off their rifle to the guests. They swore the rifle was not loaded when I urged them to put it away. They wouldn't put it away so I immediately left the party.

As it turned out no one was hurt. But I never regretted not looking cool by being the only one to leave over the reckless display of the rifle.
