Gun safety

[Blake]

A Tennessee man accidentally shot himself and his wife Thursday during a discussion at their church about gun safety concerns.

Local news station WATE reports*that the man and his wife, whose names have not been released, were attending a social club meeting at the First United Methodist Church in Tellico Plains. The club is unaffiliated with the church itself.

“We were talking about concealed carry and protecting ourselves,” witness Ray Zillick told WATE.

Apparently the old man forgot he loaded it. Dementia or not, it's smart (& standard procedure esp. on guns that require the trigger to be pulled to take them down eg Glocks) to double check before you pull the trigger. You can't fix stupid. Doesn't matter what the issue is, stupid people will find a way to fuck shit up no matter how many safety measures are put in place.
