sol740 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 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. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57353715/navy-seal-shoots-self-with-gun-believed-unloaded/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BStowers023 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Wow, sad to hear that. Alcohol had a part in that, they train us to always treat a weapon as if it were loaded regardless of the situation, I'm suprised someone as well trained as himself could do that, even under the influence.

zeitgeist57 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 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: Skydivers' Fall Caught On Tape Boy throws rocks at cars, shot by crossbow Horrified onlookers saw hikers go over waterfall Casey Anthony's dad: Drugs killed Caylee Hiker seen going over 317-ft Yosemite waterfall Lawyer explains why Sandusky showered with boys Tookie Williams Is Executed HS star Wes Leonard dies after winning shot Abducted Girl Returns Home Tree crushes girl on Christmas day Poverty in America: Faces behind the figures Osama bin Laden is dead I think we need to be focusing on some NICER stories for a change.

TTQ B4U Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 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? When he wakes up, tell him he whipped out the wrong weapon. Prayers to him nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianZ06 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 All the training in the world to be the best and one slip up can end it all. Sometimes it just comes down to plain common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
