Certainly makes him questionable in my opinion.

i believe the english language has a word for those who act like this pengy "idiot"is its polite version!many on here myself includedc definitely use a more agricultural derivative.

Although I am sure said member will post here to protest that the above is all BS

Amazing gun in a wardrobe, one of the first things to be packed when I emigrate is my gun cabinet and ammo safe, all springer air rifles van be de cocked and left with the pellet in them if it's difficult to get out, or just let it off into the ground, Jez they are so cheap to buy, as to a 3030 going off when his finger slipped off the hammer, I have done this once myself, there is no safety on the old Marlins like mine, it why you always point it to the ground, same should apply to all guns, what ever they are.

I never. Mentioned the four occasions when the same bloke has suddenly popped up in an area i am hunting when he is supposed to be in another part of the park.
"no sign there or couldnt cross river " are two lame excuses i recall

well pengy old chap[ youve my sympathies there- ya must wonder how ya come to be akin to daggy sheeps arse on a hot day -attracting this blowfly!
if you encounter him again take him aside and genteely point out that youre no longer an item ;furthermore should he not take heed youll invoke the oscar pistorious defence and he wont have a leg to stand on- but make sure ya dont stump him.

Before taking a rifle into a house, tent , basher or car . Step 1..mag out..Step 2 bolt out, action cleared. Step 3 .. Step inside. Really simple even an idiot should manage.

Welcome Turehu.

My heart goes out to this family - I cannot imagine the stress and regret they must be experiencing right now. At some point in the chain if events, someone was negligent, and it lead to a tragedy unfolding. We can all take a lesson from this and should do so.

I've experienced a negligent discharge, although thankfully there were no injuries. All it takes is a single incorrect assumption or a lapse in dilligence. Numerous friends and associates have as well - almost all with semi auto pistols.

I believe that if you handle firearms regularly enough, the odds of something like this happening increases, to the point where your number will come up. Just pray that on that day, you are fortunate enough to get away without an injury, let alone a fatality.

Yes it is, that it why I said 4 1/2 years on. Regardless, there are salutary lessons for newly licenced shooters.
