Rule 1 of Jeff Cooper's rules of safe gun handling:
All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
Rule 2:
Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. (For those who insist that this particular gun is unloaded, see Rule 1.)
Over in Sanford, NC, Randall T. Butler violated both rules.
Capt. Jeff Johnson says there is nothing to indicate foul play.
Johnson says some friends were in Butler's girlfriend's home when he showed them the safety features of his .22-caliber pistol.
The captain says Butler showed them the safety and how the gun would not fire. Johnson says after Butler pulled the trigger and it didn't fire, he showed them the slide action, put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger again.
Johnson says Butler apparently failed to re-engage the safety.
Oopsy. Gotta hate it when that happens. Except in this case, as Sean at An NC Gun Blog reports, Randall T. Butler was a paroled felon, who legally had no right to own a gun at all. So you won't see tears of sorrow running down my face for Randall T.
Thank you, Mr. Darwin.

THIS IS A VERY RUDE THING TO SAY AND IF YOU KNEW HIM OR IT WAS YOUR CHILD OR SOMEONE ELSE CLOSE YOU WOULD NOT BE SAYING THIS...SO SHUT UP ABOUT SOMETHING YOU HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT!!!
KRISTINA
There is an argument that natural selection stopped when civilization began and "society" began to look after and protect its weaker members. This example clearly provides a counter argument.
@Kristina: If every single Dontavious or DeMarcus or Dantonius that I read about in the various newspapers that's been robbing, raping and killing his way through life did exactly the same thing, this would be a much nicer world.
That's an example of a self limiting problem right there.
I hope Kristina isn't too upset that I'm not upset that nitwit removed himself from the gene pool.
