Accidental (Negligent) Discharge of 12gu at Gun Show
Three hurt in firearm accident at North Carolina gun show - Yahoo! News
Just Fabulous !!! A great time to have an accidental discharge at a gun show, on the very day we're protesting the 2nd Ammendment at the State Capitals.
You know the media WILL BE damn sure to spread this and turn it into national news, but they're NOT going to print or report on the lady that saved herself from a rape with a firearm, or the LEO that got back up from a CCW and kept him from getting injured.
That's the other things really pissed me off about the government getting involved and threats of taking away guns and gun control. Take a look at all the efforts and conversation put into trashing guns and the "NO Need" for them on one side, and then all of us putting efforts and conversation into defending our rights and having to explain WHY we need or want our firearms, which we should NOT have to explain since it's a right we were granted as an American citizen. All of these efforts from both sides and 500 Million Tax Dollars to take our guns away. (Some for good purpose, mental health I agree with.)
When what should be happening, is both sides coming together as a team and discussing gun safety, accident prevention, keeping them from kids, criminals and the mentally ill. Imagine the progress that could be made if everyone was directing their efforts into Firearm Safety Cause and 500 Million Tax Dollars put into Gun Safety and Awaremess programs. I think we all agree we want prevent accidents and keep kids safe. There's not much to debate about that, and let's face it, there are some pretty damn irresponsible gun owners out there. People become complacemnt with their weapons and it's not a good thing. I know of 2 cops here locally in recent years, where they've left their service weappn on a coffee table or dinner table when they came in from work and a kid was able to get access to it, and an accident happened. And the LEO's don't know any better??? Of course we don't see a media spectacle out of it, just like we didn't see one when Cheney shot his buddy. They reported it and shut up about it.
Anyway guys and girls, just remember the safety measures. Keep them out of childrens reach, I'd say locked up if you have curious teens, and make sure they're unloaded when put away for storage, unless it's your home defense weapon and it's in a hidden secure place out of reach of children. :waytogo:
