He coulda had his pants around his ankles givin' the wife of another man a good stabbin... or he coulda been sittin across the table discussing some business related matters.
Only three people know for sure, and two of 'em ain't sayin' [bleep].

Did the shooter just orphan the two year old mentioned in the story? I just skimmed through the article, if that is the case that is a very real tragedy itself.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Very shocking news. I've subscribed to Rifle, Rifle Shooter and Shooting Times for a number of years, and have always enjoyed Greg's articles. Very informative, down to earth, and always interesting. He often wrote of his hunting/shooting experiences with his kids, who must be devastated by this terrible tragedy. Kinda feel like I've lost a friend.

Greg was a nice outgoing fellow. He was well liked here in SE Texas. Very Tragic, my heart goes out to his wife and kids.

I watched one of his shows just this week about a hunt with one of his children. Sympathy extended to the families.

Just to add my personal experience with Greg for those that seem quick to jump to baseless conclusions.
Greg wrote an article about the 7mm Rem Mag in both Shooting Times and Hunting Illustrated. He included quite a bit on the Long Range use of the 7mm and mentioned me and the company I represented at the time. Really good exposure and many gun writers would have tried to parlay that exposure into lots of free product or ever just straight up monetary compensation.
Greg didn�t, simple as that.
Quit guessin on the situation guys. Greg was a stand up guy and this is a [bleep] situation.

RIP Greg.
The critics on here...not so much.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

Dang that sucks. I didn't know him personally other that we had been emailing back and forth about a possible African safari and he was very helpful and patient.

He was always worth reading.....and that is about as good a compliment as any writer can get. This is just tragic. Damn.

I didn't know his claim to fame but recognize his handle. He came across as a good guy in his posts. Just a tragic event. RIP and best to the survivors.

I�m very sad to hear about his death. My sympathy and prayers go out to his wife and children. I have read his some of his articles and occasionally messaged him here on the Fire. He seemed like a very decent man to me.
