It's not like anybody could have been killed as a result of his negligence!

nice job old man!

But this isn't really related to gun control. No one is talking about restrictions on shotguns.

or were we not paying attention ?

of shootings and accidents have been declining for nearly 40 years..there are many causes of death which if every incident were reported, would shock people..there are a couple posters hereabouts who scour for anything related to their pet cause hoping to make it appear problems are out of control and rapidly increasing..

The 10 people that were injured made a conscious decision to be in a place they knew guns were present. That's 10 people who now have buckshot in their asses. Me, I chose to come home after work, cut the grass, have a few beers with the neighbors and watch a hockey game. I don't have buckshot in my ass so who made the right decision? I'm kinda like the guy who declined the invitation to go duck hunting with Dick Cheney. If you choose to be around guns this shit eventually happens. That's exactly why I choose not to.

What good is arming them then

to pass on his idiot genes.

Please don't pass them along.

Its Amateur Hour at so many of them now. There are too many inexperienced nuts waving loaded hardware around.

He was out pulling clay pidgeons so wasn't in the building when it occurred but was on site to see the mayhem afterwards. His best friend (17 years old and also employed there) had to have shrapnel removed from his abdomen AND his hand.

The guy who did this is the SAFETY DIRECTOR for the club too!!

Another responsible gun owner who could not have forseen...

Why am I not surprised....

This is Denny Hastert's old district. Heavily Rethug. A tea partier now occupies the seat - Randy Hultgren.

Ugh. Gotta protect the gun culture at all costs in the media in Rethug-ville.

Their guns are sacred. Thanks for sharing the real information here.

is like going to where alcoholics frequent. Yeah not exactly bright.

same for ranges..except ranges are probably statistically safer..

Shoulda been at least 25 to uphold their high standards.

that this happened to people who voluntarily chose to place themselves in a situation where this type of risk is inherent. I'm sick of reading stories about innocent people getting shot when they were not involving themselves in any kind of gun nuttery.

what other kind of round would you use?

Why wouldn't there be charges? Did he also mistakenly pull the trigger shooting the mistakenly loaded live shell? I thought there were no accidents with guns.
