Probably will win first place in this year's Darwin Awards

According to witnesses, Looney was demonstrating how to use the different safety mechanisms on several guns to his girlfriend. The witnesses said Looney would put the guns to his head, and before pulling the trigger, would ask her if she thought the gun would go off. With the first two guns, the safety mechanisms worked. The third gun fired.

Third time's the charm, I guess.

Sigh, demonstrating safety mechanisms and he forgot the only one that matters: barrel control.  Sad that he made his girlfriend a victim, too, witnessing something like that.

I have one total piece of shit gun that fires with the safety on or off.  If the safety is on it jams after one shot, if it is off it jams whenever it feels like jamming.  I sent it back to the company for them to fix.  They sent it back "fixed" the same way.  I won't even sell it because I know someone will end up killing themself or someone else accidentally with it.

Bronze it; it'd make a nice book-end.

Must be related to that DEA guy that shot himself in the foot while demonstrating firearm safety to a bunch of school kids.

My Uncle killed himself in an accident very similar to this.

Maybe the third gun was a revolver?

IIRC...Several years ago there was an actor on a movie set in Hollyweird who was messing around with a prop gun.  Showing off for his friends.  It was loaded with blanks.  The idiot put the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger.  The concussion blew a fairly large hole in his head.

Brandon Lee and Jon-Erik Hexum were both victims of blanks.  Hexum was the one who pointed it at his head.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.

Lee's death was a tragic accident that was in no way his fault.  Hexum was a moron for doing that.
