Mystery to Me

Police said Manley told officers he was friends with Abron and was teaching him about guns ... it somehow discharged ... he didn’t know how the gun discharge [sic] or what he did to make it fire ... he thought Abron had unloaded the gun before he picked it up... [More]
After this is all said and done he ought to take it to the buyback.

Perhaps the dumbest phrase in the English language:

"It just went off!"

There's at least 3 safe handling rules that were ignored/violated before the person in this story was "accidentally" shot.

1. Treat all firearms as loaded until they are rendered incapable of firing.

2. Keep loaded firearms pointed in a safe direction.

3. Keep your finger (and everything else) out of the trigger guard until your sights are lined up on your intended target.

There once was this guy named Charles Darwin.......

But he had taken all of Shannon Watts’s “gun safety” training!
