Thank goodness he wasn't pointing it at the girl and doing the same thing. I guess he was being safe. Alan http://www.kens5.com/latestnews/stories/KENS20090922-Firearm-safety-Missouri.1a52fda66.html Missouri man shoots self in head while teaching firearm safety 08:39 AM CDT on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 KMOV.com Staff ST. LOUIS -- An Imperial man is dead after accidentally shooting himself in the head while teaching his girlfriend firearm safety. According to Sheriff Oliver Boyer, deputies responded to 4307 Rock Valley Court in Imperial, Missouri on Friday for an accidental shooting. According to the investigation, 40-years-old James Looney was teaching his girlfriend firearm safety. According to the witness, Looney would show the different safety mechanisms, put the gun to his head, and ask if the gun would go off. Looney apparently did this with two other weapons and varied safety mechanisms, before the last one went off. Looney was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead the next morning. According to witnesses, Looney was going to take his girlfriend to the shooting range the next day, but insisted on firearm safety the day prior. Authorities said alcohol was a factor.

This story reminds me of the LEO who literally shot himself in the foot while demonstrating gun safety in front of a high-school class... I believe the video was posted in the Fire. Is it too ambitious or too naive to look for an honest politician? Or simply a useful one?
