Han Howard, a former smoke shop employee who lived in Muskogee but was from Oktaha, died Thursday night after a gun he was playing with went off, according to two sources in the Muskogee Police Department.
The sources, who asked to not be identified by name, said Howard had been on a date, and as the evening was winding down, he started playing with a revolver. He apparently opened the revolver and emptied out the bullets, but one bullet stayed in, without his knowledge, the police said.
Howard then allegedly began to play Russian Roulette with the pistol, which he thought he had emptied. On the third trigger pull, the bullet that had escaped his attention fired, mortally wounding him.
No funeral home or service have yet been announced.

Sounds almost stupid enough to play Russian Roulette with a semi-auto.

Yeah, I always used to play Russian Roulette on my dates, as it was without a doubt so impressive to the women. /sarcasm

That is so strange to me. The concept that a gun is a toy.
Toy guns were toy guns, but we knew the difference....

How many times do we have to hear this same story about someone not knowing there was a bullet left in the chamber? Also, real guns are not toys to be played with.
To: ImJustAnotherOkie
The family has to stick with that story for the life insurance.

This is sad, Rest In Peace. The title should be “accidental suicide” or some such, remove any indication that the gun “went off” - he pulled the trigger.

Couldn’t he have just told her he didn’t want a second date?

Just goes back to what my mother told me as a child. “Empty guns are in some ways more dangerous than a loaded gun”.

This former live person really had bad judgment. “Playing” with a gun is really stupid.
