i would like to know more about how that happened VC. Any mention of the shooting at Flaxmere a couple of days back.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

Yea I hope he recovers fully.
Would like to know more about the fault with the firearm.
Generally when things go bad its a blocked bore or wrong ammo.?"Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

Would be interesting to see if its 223 and 300 blk. Unless there's an uber hot load or a squib I'm not sure how it can explode?

I used to live in Ararimu and know a few who still do. I dont know the family but apparently he is ok and it's not as bad as first thought or what the media has made it out to be. I have no info on what actually happened but wish him a speedy recovery and my thoughts are with the family.

Good glad he’s ok. Hate for him to have lost an eye or worse.
Could have been a blocked barrel as I see fresh earthworks around the house in the stuff pic.
Could also have been one of those .17hmr they have a habit of doing this kind of thing.It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
