Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

I bet he is smarter today. By now many people have told him what a bonehead he is and how he should have done it. Unlikely there will be a repeat performance. All the people I know with self inflicted gunshot wounds, usually from fast draw practice, only have one scar.

I'm sure there will be those that will say "See, if they hadn't made him unload and tie off his carry gun to get into the show, this wouldn't have happened.!" (Then he could have had a ND/AD in the show and managed to hit someone else..)

My feeling is that if someone can't even load a gun without it going off, maybe they shouldn't be carrying one in the first place....

Some of the crap that goes on is beyond the 'what was that all about" feeling you get.
