Looks like rules 1, 2, and 3 were violated here. Not that I’m necessarily broken up about what appears to be a top criminal learning what karma is all about, but it’s still demonstration how not following the rules leads to big trouble.
It’s also demonstration about how not to unload a semi-automatic firearm. To properly unload a semi-automatic firearm you:
- Point the muzzle in a safe direction (see NRA’s 3 rules for what “safe direction” means)
- Drop the magazine
- Pull back the slide to eject the chambered round.
- Visually (and perhaps
tacticallytactilely) check the chamber and the magazine well to ensure and verify no rounds are present and the gun is unloaded.
Updated: Looks like rules 1, 2, and 3 weren’t the only thing violated… adding drugs and alcohol to the mix too. TXGunGeek (in my comments), it looks like this falls under your “raving idiot” category. And yes I guess there is a reason to point a gun at your head and pull the trigger… to teach others how to be just as stupid as you.
Updated 2: Fixed my typo there… should be tactilely not tactically. Freudian slip? 😉

I Duno, the “acident” could very well been something else. Unless they guy is a raving idiot. There is absolutely no reason to “unload” a gun and point it at your head and pull the trigger. I would more than likely point this as an intentional act that is being labeled/mislabeled as an accident for insurance or other purposes.
It’s certainly possible. More details would be nice.
Well, looks like we’ve gotten more details, TXGunGeek. I updated the original posting.
