Not, accidental. Period.

Domestic incident a few hours earlier? Iā€™d say police are still putting this together. Could be a murder or suicide. Could also be a pissed off lady grabbing stuff out of the closet, or she was grabbing the gun to go shoot his ass, etc. But I am sure police are not done investigating this.

Perhaps a ā€˜Victim of Loveā€™? In any case, thereā€™s going to be a ā€˜Heartache Tonight.ā€™

How very sad.

NRA: At least their home was safe from invasion.

Police say Randy Meisner was cooperative throughout the investigation. Officials say police had responded to the home earlier Sunday and took a domestic violence incident report.

So, earlier on Sunday a domestic violence report was taken, and later this woman accidentally shoots herself in the head, because an item in the gun case shifted and caused the gun to fire?

Nopeā€“nothing suspicious here.

No kidding. For that to be true, the gun had to have the safety off, a shell in the chamber, and be somehow pointed right at her head at the exact moment when it ā€œaccidentallyā€ went off. Highly unlikely, but not impossible, since people are remarkably stupid around firearms.

Both post-Meisner tunes. Fail.

Also, AP fail, again. Meisner, as with his later replacement, was ā€œstolenā€ from Poco. Frey and Henley were the co-founders of the group and had worked with each other for years prior to forming the band.

Donā€™t ask me why I know this.

That plus firearms are remarkably unsafe (since no standard product safety rules apply).

guitar cases are known for inadvertent turning of tuning pegsā€¦

I suppose we should expect gun cases to inadvertently sqeexe the trigger?

And, no product/manufacturer/retailer liability eitherā€“the NRA Feels The Bern, and meanwhile, gun violence victims feel the burn.

He done it. How do I know? Because OJ hadnā€™t even gotten into his Bronco when I said " He done it."

Or maybe A Certain Kind of Fool or Desperado? Guilty of the Crime?

Leaving bullets in a gun is not a smart thing to do.This is not how one handles a weapon.When you are finished with your weapon you remove bullets and check to see none are in chamber, etc.
No gun safety here was usedā€¦another person is now dead.

I live in Maine.We love guns.We also respect them and use them safely.And we remove ammo.Store the gun in one placeā€¦the ammo in another.And if children live in home or come to home bullets are kept locked up with an adult having the key.

I just canā€™t get over that numbskull looking right down the barrel of the gun he was having trouble with. What the fuck was he expecting to see? His maker?
