"Last Stop" shooting range.

There’s got to be a Darwin Award somewhere in this story.

File this under, "Why, what could possibly go wrong?"

The reason why this makes "news" is because gun ranges are quite possibly the safest places on the planet. As best I recall, this is the one and only death that has ever occurred at one.

[Rennes Templar]

If you watch the vid, he shows her how to shoot, then just gives her the gun. Not a good move...

[Rennes Templar]

I’m sure the gun-control crowd is pleased...

Are you forgetting Chris Kyle?

File it also under ‘irony’ (see prior posting).

Tragic, but preventable. On video, no less.

9 YO’s never should have an automatic weapon in their little hands!
A .22 semiauto loaded one round at a time or .22 wheel gun will do for a starter for sure!
“Last Stop” for sure!

Because of that idiot instructor, this little girl will live the rest of her life with the guilt and nightmares for helping him win a well deserved Darwin Award.

On the upside, the girl is still alive and was not killed due to the instructor’s stupidity.

It did say he had a great sense of humor.

Now the joke is on him.

Are you forgetting Chris Kyle?

Whoops. Still, that's two in maybe 100 years.

ok i have had guns my whole life and live in the ghetto i would not let a 9 year old girl or boy play with a fully loaded uzi…. flame away

[ClearCase_guy]

Don't mess with Hit Girl.

Several have committed suicide at ranges and I remember one murder - suicide. There are some youtubes of people getting wounded at ranges too.

[G Larry]

uh...no....

The great American sniper, not too long ago.

A couple of suicides at ranges in the last few years also.

Chris Kyle, but I think that was a murder case.

I’m not sure that’s true, I think I’ve read about accidents at ranges from time to time, but I would agree it’s quite rare.

when i took friends along and trained them to shoot. they only got one bullet. my one freind who was a good shot, could never shoot more than one in the mag. all giddy from the shooting, he would wave the gun around after.
