Navy Seal shoots himself ...

Stories like this remind me that I must never become too comfortable with my firearms. Though I would never even dream of sticking one upside my head. Still, I must always have respect, and treat as if loaded. Hope he recovers.

Wow. I'm surprised he was at least admitted into the hospital after shooting himself in the head.

 

Equally as sad are the list of other stories below it:

I think we need to be focusing on some NICER stories for a change. :(

So let me get this staight, a 22yr old drinking at a bar closes the sale, gets the chick back to his place and wants to play let me show you my gun? :confused:

 

When he wakes up, tell him he whipped out the wrong weapon.

 

Prayers to him nonetheless.

Just goes to show you even with rigorous training, selection, etc. some people (under the influence or not) can still have epic fuck-ups. There was a SF candidate in the Q course that did this awhile back, and the recent SF that had a few pounds of C4 in TX.

I think everyone is missing the point here

 

a special forces guy shot himself in the head and lived

 

sounds like the military is doing some genetic upgrades

He would have overheated to death had he not found that bathtub full of ice.
