Thread: Idoits that get firearm licences

Just reading in the local courts today about some total dickhead that is certainly not a fit and proper person to have a firearms licence.

It appears this 23 year old from brightwater was planning to go hunting with a mate, the time was 3pm.
For some unbelieveable reason he loaded his mag in his 308 just before loading it into his car and while he shut the bolt he chambered a round by accident.

While leaning on the car with the rifle he again by accident pulled the trigger of his 308 and fired a shot thru the cars door.
Round went thur the door, thur his fence and hit the neighbours property,. His excuse was the rifle was new and he didnt know he chambered a round.....WTF

One,why the hell would you load the rifle in the first place before you even left the property?
Second, while shutting the bolt hes got no idea hes chambered a round then he mangages to fire it without shooting himself or someone else.

How the hell this total clown got a firearm licence in the first place is beyord me.
Hes awaiting sentence but if he hasnt lost his firearms licence its a disgrace and he shouldnt ever be allowed to touch another one again!
