Must be serious if they took him to Been Stabbed.

I hope he lives and learns from his stupidity.

I thought Fully Automatic guns were outlawed a long time ago...

Seriously I hope he comes out ok and every one involved learns something (Like keep your **** finger OFF the trigger). Someone once told me "the only thing better that learning from your mistakes is learning from the mistakes of others."

Maybe it was a Japanese Type 94 with the external sear bar that could be fired just by pressing on the sear bar.

So I'm not the only one that these stories tick off huh? I heard the story on the news the other morning and I was ranting to my wife about how they have to misrepresent everything.

Here is a link to another report of the same story:

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/060305 ... oting.html

I thought I heard on the "TV" that it was a revolver his PARENTS had given him for graduation. Also that he was PLAYING with it while he was talking on the phone to his girlfriend.

It could have been worse. He could have been driving a car his parents had given him and talking to his girlfriend on a cell phone and run into a bunch of innocent people and killed THEM.


Yeah, and they always "somehow go off for no reason" And the other amazing thing is that somehow a bullet, I say a bullet, a real lead bullet will come out of an UNLOADED gun every time!

If I could just find a wallet, an "empty wallet", that money would come out of when I PLAYED with it, I'ld trade my Glock for it in a heartbeat.

It's hardest to pray for the people who need it the most. The whole thing is a shame, alot of people will proably never be the same again. (note to self)

Be carefull, tell your loved ones to "Be carefull" give them a hug and tell them again.
