kawi kid Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 1? Don't fire a potentially loaded gun at your own head.1 all guns are always loaded. No exception.2 never point the gun at anything you are not willing to destroy3 know what is beyond your target. The bullet could have font through his head and into someone else.4 keep your finger off the trigger til your sights are on target. He violated all of them.

If he actually wanted to commit suicide, but wanted to make it look like an accident he may have only violated 1 of the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Not necessarily. If he actually wanted to commit suicide, but wanted to make it look like an accident he may have only violated 1 of the rules.Not likely. This is what happens when you mix guns and alcohol. Alcohol should only be mixed with juice or soda pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 2 never point the gun at anything you are not willing to destroyNow, this rule seems difficult, a gun is always pointed at something, sometimes your foot or your thigh, or random people behind you depending on holster...

cOoTeR Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Now, this rule seems difficult, a gun is always pointed at something, sometimes your foot or your thigh, or random people behind you depending on holster...What holster company sells holsters that point at your feet or thigh or backwards?

cOoTeR Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Not necessarily. If he actually wanted to commit suicide, but wanted to make it look like an accident he may have only violated 1 of the rules.If it was intentional and he didn't take anything else out with the round it sounds like I didn't break any rules.
