It’s pure negligence… and probably some stupidity (and perhaps even alcohol?) thrown in.
According to an incident report, 24-year-old Naomi Ensell told her boyfriend to put the gun away about 2 a.m. Thursday. But he told her it was safe and put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. The gun did not fire.
Deputies say he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger again. This time, it went off.
No, it’s never safe to do that. Rules violations everywhere.
Your head is not a safe direction.
All guns are ALWAYS loaded.
Never let the muzzle cover anything you’re not willing to destroy. In my book, my head is something I’m not willing to destroy.
