Any 43 year old man doing selfies probably deserves such a fate.

“he thought...”

No, he didn’t think. He ASSUMED the gun was unloaded.

One of the most important rules: always assume the gun is loaded.

“The man’s girlfriend was with him when he died, Skagit County Sheriff’s Office Chief of Patrol Chad Clark told the Skagit Valley Herald. Police are investigating his death as accidental.”

Sure, the article wasn’t directly about politics, so let’s accept the story completely as written, because the sheriff accepted the only witness’ story as fact.

Like we accepted Cinderella’s pronouncement a few days ago.

Selfies don’t kill. Stupid people taking selfies kill.

What next? sue Apple for not putting warnings on Iphones not to take selfies with loaded guns?

There is no such thing as an unloaded gun.

A gun is not a toy. I inherited my great-great
grandfather’s S&W revolver. Common sense. Cultivate it.

***what he thought was an unloaded gun***

Standard rule has been to consider all guns loaded, even when they are not!

Likely too late for a Darwin but could still be eligible for the Moron Hall of Fame.

If I was ever inclined to take a ‘selfie’, 50/50 chance it would be with a firearm. But I still wouldn’t be stupid enough to point the bullet-exit end towards myself...

the man, who officials did not name, fatally shot himself in the face while attempting to take a selfie with what he thought was an unloaded gun.

Yea, I hate it when that happens
