Guys, I just found out a friend of mine was killed last night, working on his firearm.

 

He was cleaning/maintaining his gun in some manner (I don't know specifics yet) and somehow, infathomably, a round discharged and killed him.

 

I know he was adept at the "rules" of gun safety, he was even in the military, where firearm safety is (hopefully) ground into conciousness. Like I said, I don't know the details, I just know that somewhere he was distracted or not thinking straight.

 

Whatever the circumstances, no matter the fault, now a friend of mine is dead, and it was almost certainly preventable with some common sense.

 

Guys, when you're cleaning your guns, check, check, and re-check the receiver and clip for rounds. Never point the barrel anywhere near your body (or anyone else of course), and never EVER assume either of these prior two points are a sure thing.

 

Be careful.....be.....careful

Happened to a friend of our family's brother, you can never be to careful and yes it can happen to you.
