Bravo, fuckehead, bravo
When you are done firing a weapon, you take the magazine out, put the weapon on safe, and you check the chamber to make sure nothing is in it. If something is in the chamber, you point the weapon downrange, take the weapon off safe, and fire again.

Which is why there should be laws against utter stupidity - so idiots like this would face charges.
step 2: treat every gun owner as a potential mass murderer.
Less then 1000 people a year die from accidental discharge of a firearm. But then you don't care about that fact do you? Hell there are 40 to 50 thousand a year killed in car accidents, lets ban private ownership of cars. FOR the children of course.
step 2: treat every gun owner as a potential mass murderer.
You cannot start off with "As a lifelong gun owner, here is the problem as I see it." and finish up with that other garbage. You're not a life long gun owner.As a lifelong gun owner, here is the problem as I see it. We have all these wingnuts putting guns on a pedestal, stating things to the effect that if you don't carry you are a cowardly weenie. Yet we also have a large population that has never handled guns, or are mentally not capable of handling them safely. So, we have tragedies like this.
No one should be allowed to handle a gun without having first taken a firearms safety course. And if someone mishandles a gun, it should be one strike and you are out. There is no excuse for handling a gun as that father did.

7-year-old fatally shot by father outside gun store in Pennsylvania - U.S. NewsUpdated at 4:40 p.m. ET: A 7-year-old boy was fatally shot in the chest Saturday outside a gun shop in western Pennsylvania, according to Mercer County dispatchers.
The boys father had gone in to Twigs Reloading Den in East Lackawannock Township some time before 11 a.m. to sell a .9 mm gun, according to KDKA-TV Pittsburgh. The father said that as he was backing his pickup truck out of the parking spot, a gun went off, shooting his son in the chest.
Store owner Leonard Mohney told NBC Philadelphia that the boy was shot in the gun shop's parking lot.
The boy was seated in a booster seat on the passenger side. Authorities were called at 10:53 a.m. local time and found the boy lying next to the truck after a failed attempt at resuscitation. They stayed on scene until after 1 p.m., dispatchers said.
Twigs Reloading Den is an outdoor supply store about 70 miles from Pittsburgh.
Imy Howard, owner of Howard & Son Meat Packing store next door, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that her son heard a shot this morning. She said that Twigs Reloading Den hosted target shooting in the back parking lot last week but not this week.
A Twigs employee told the Post-Gazette that the incident was just an unfortunate accident.

Fuck you: "An estimated 32,788 people were killed in traffic accidents in 2010, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That represents a 25 percent decline since 2005, when there were 43,510 traffic fatalities"
Traffic deaths are down you fucking moron because the Federal Government regulated safer cars, mandate the use of seat belts and required airbags.
A seven you old is dead and you don't give a shit; that makes you a sociopathic asshole, IMHO.

It doesn't matter if it was an accident or not. It shouldn't have happened, period, and the idiot who discharged the weapon should face charges.
