Gun Violence
A man from Independence Township, Michigan accidentally shot and killed himself on Monday while teaching his girlfriend about gun safety, the Oakland Press reports.

The 36-year-old, whose name has not been released, was showing his girlfriend how his three handguns are safe when they aren’t loaded, according to the Detroit Free Press. He was attempting to demonstrate the safety of the handguns by holding them to his head and pulling the trigger.

The third gun fired, and the man was struck in the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Three children ages 7, 10, and 12 were in the home but did not witness the shooting, according to reports. The man's girlfriend told authorities he had been drinking most of the day before the incident took place.

This isn't the first time a gun safety demonstration has gone wrong. In January 2013, 18-year-old Florida resident Alexander Xavier Shaw died doing a similar demonstration. Richard M. McLean, a 22-year-old from Michigan, died in a similar fashion in June 2012. Missouri resident James Looney, 40, was also teaching his girlfriend about gun safety when he shot himself in the head in September 2009.

So not exactly a safety conscious person now was he?
 
First rule of gun safety is to not point the things at people you do not wish to shoot. Girlfriend chose a poor teacher.
 
Someone forgot to check the chamber after removing the clip. There's a tip from a guy who still doesn't own a gun and has only handled a firearm about four times.

This is as far as I had to read. This guy was either impaired or a complete idiot....or both. You never do something so stupid, even with a toy gun. I had to work what seemed to be a one vehicle auto accident years ago (more than 20) and when we finally got to the bottom of everything the goober driving the car did the same exact thing, trying to show his wife how the safety works. The first thing you learn when learning to handle a gun is to never trust a safety. It is a mechanical device and mechanical devices can and do fail.

The third gun fired, and the man was struck in the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Bingo.

Yes, sadly, there are nuts in this country. They'll mishandle lots of things.
