SIGH! Stupidity is some times fatal

Just reading the local daily rag. Seems a couple of university students across the line decided to engage in a bit of 'horseplay" which involved alcohol and a .22 semi-auto pistol and one of the students dying of a gunshot wound. The surviving student admitted he'd been drinking and during the "horseplay" tried to kick the gun from out of the hands of the other student, at which point "the gun went off". The student has been booked into jail on 2nd degree manslaughter charges.

I will not call this a tragic accident, I will call this a case of extreme reckless stupidity. It is this kind of stupidity that gives the rest of us gun owners a bad reputation by people who will use it to point out that guns are bad. Sorry, the gun was not at fault, it was the fault of idiots who decide that alcohol and goofing off with firearms was a good idea.

Moral of the story: alcohol and firearms don't mix and stupidity is oft times fatal. So if you drink , put the firearms where you won't get stupid with them.
