Perhaps, but not likely, IMHO.
Well that was one clumbsy gun. Accidently doing that and all.
That gun should have been more careful.
Who's to say though, without an investigation and even then...
1) All guns are always loaded
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it
Extreme stupidity or suicide. I vote for suicide.
Gosh I wonder if any media outfits in SF, NYC and DC will snap this story up, eh..?
So, he had the revolver loaded, while using it as a prop in a music video, and somehow put the finger to the trigger and pointed the muzzle towards his self, and then it accidentally went off?
There was a thread here yesterday about this.
And among the rules of gun safety mentioned there, was to always handle with care, and assume a gun is loaded. Do not point a gun at anyone or anything you don’t intend to shoot.
It also mentioned that a gun shooting blanks still has explosive substances in it, and gets back to where you should assume a gun is loaded, and never point it at anyone.
Note that the Texas JP and the singer’s manager are not giving the same account of the matter. Not the same at all...
I guess this is the equivalent of wrap singers shooting each other up to further their careers.
AD&D double indemnity.
“Accidental”? How about “Negligent”.
How do you not know if a gun is loaded? Maybe he was anti-gun?
Darwin was a fan of country.
I have a theory... so flame away, gun folks.
Overweight people have trouble pulling guns out of clothing because everything is tight and so the gun must be gripped harder, increasing the chance of an accidental trigger pull.
Of course, I don’t know the details of this incident but it is just a thought.....
A guy working for us got a hydrshok down the leg, in an “accidental discharge”. His brother was cleaning a 9mm...
That was the story.
In reality, his brother shot at his center of mass, and he was quick enough by half, and jumped.
In at the hip, out at the ankle. They had to open his whole leg to pick out shrapnel. Both are presently incarcerated.
Felons are not allowed to own guns...
It is hard to hire good people.
From a difference source:
“Carter’s mother, Cindy McClellan, opened up to Fox News about her son’s tragic death.
She told the outlet that the gun was in the singer’s pocket and “went off and caught my son in the corner of his eye.””
How much life insurance does the manager have on his client?
Either a Darwin Award nominee, or they ain’t telling us something.
The two shots in the back of the head may help clear things up a bit, however.
