Accidents do happen, Sounds to me like Keeping your finger off the trigger until your ready to shoot would have stopped this one from happening.
And this is why Barney had to keep his bullet in his pocket.
Accidents are extremely rare. Neglegence is pretty common….and yes, anyone can be neglegent.
Give the guy a break you dont know the whole story atleast noone else got injured hell he could of tripped and gun went off i bet half of you have been in a car wreck or fallen off a ladder sometimes crap happens
This makes a second self-inflicted gunshot wound that happened at the gun club
Eddie I don’t care how much training you have you could still have an accident
The range, the holster or the time of day were not the cause. The shooter’s lack of training was the cause.
I’m guessing that nobody was holding his beer..
This is/or was the only shooting range in the county that will let you draw from a holster, I wonder if that is the cause? Being that it was a leg injury?
