That old, “one in the chamber” trick. I hope wound isn’t serious.

I can tell y’alls this from personal experience: You just have to clean the guns when the voices tell you to. DO NOT ignore the voices - bad things will happen.

How did that court officer get by security with a gun?

Was the gun the good guy or the cop…where’s Wayne LaPierre when ya need him?

This is one instance when NRA influence doesn’t matter. The court officer was armed to perform his dutys, not by choice.

Why oh why are these people never cleaning loaded guns near Rachel Ray! < /shakesfistskyward >

Oh great. The home town sure looks good now.

Of course he was. I understand the job. I was just trying to be a bit comic.

True, but it does illustrate the danger of possessing a gun. Even a trained officer can make mistakes with one.

With almost daily instances of guns going off while cleaning them, you’d think people would be extremely careful while cleaning their guns.

Either that, or it’s the boilerplate excuse for being careless with a deadly weapon.

I’m thinking the latter.

Is it difficult to clear the chamber of a semi-automatic? Why don’t more people do it before cleaning their guns? Conversely, how much longer would it take to not chamber a round until you intended to shoot? My own experience is only with revolvers and bolt-action rifles.

That’s absolutely wonderful. Nice to get a good laugh as another beheading was dominating the news.

He probably cleaned that baby every day.
