Always Treat Guns as if They’re Loaded

While browsing SayUncle I found a story that perfectly portrays why you always treat a gun as if it’s loaded…

So a hopefully soon to be Darwin Award nominee named Samuel Benally Jr. decided to explain gun safety.

Samuel Benally Jr. was at an apartment on West Tacoma Street when he said guns should be kept unloaded because people could point them at their heads, said Sierra Vista police Sgt. Brett Mitchell.

What does he do afterward? Puts his Ruger pistol t his head and pulls the trigger. He thought it was unloaded, he thought wrong. And now he’s dead. It’s nice to see Darwin hasn’t left us completely, he’s still there pruning the gene pool.

I guess my tag “You Can’t Cure Stupid” isn’t completely accurate. The late Mr. Benally proved it.
