MISHAWAKA — The cause of death of a man who mistakenly shot himself has been ruled accidental.
Gene W. Sult, 47, was drinking with friends about 9:15 p.m. Saturday in a home in the 100 block of Wayne Street when he began showing off his gun.
Sult handed the gun to a friend and when it was handed back to him, he said, “Don’t be afraid, it’s got a double safety,” according to police reports.
Sult then pointed the gun toward himself and began pulling the trigger. On about the fourth pull, the gun went off, striking him, the report said.
Sult was dead, sitting in a kitchen chair, when police arrived. His thumb was still on the trigger, the report said.

Sad - guess that guy never bothered to read the four laws.
Why don't people understand that it's always wise to treat a gun as if they were loaded.
To: hoosierboy
Any drunk who picks up a gun while intoxicated deserves to die instantly.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s got a double safety,” They should engrave that on his tombstone.

This was no accident, but 1st degree negligence. He broke every safety rule in the book.
It would have been a miracle if he had survived (i.e. the gun didn't fire).

Defective safety?
Calling all personal injury lawyers!

Guess he didn't know that guns kill every chance they get.

Yep. Gun safety is not rocket science, but it does require attention. I am fairly new to gun ownership (only a couple of years) but I was very impressed by the directness and simplicity of the gun safety course I took.
If you follow the rules, you cannot hurt yourself or others.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s got a double safety,” Looks like he should have bought the triple safety model, or maybe even the quad.
