Jeez! Talk about a bad day!

WOW!!! I really hate to see that but it is more common then we hear about. A lot of time the shooter is not seriously hurt and simply writes it off to stupidity.

Looks like he was at a range.
I get distracted at the range if I get into a groove and someone comes and talks to me,I will forget one thing and it will mess me up.

Damn shame

I agree this happens. Especially at regulation ranges when they call a cease fire. I impress upon my daughter (and myself) to always remember where you are in the loading process (repeat it to yourself) so when the line goes hot again you don't make a mistake.

Safety first!
