"At one point, Poulin put the barrel of the rifle under his chin and pulled the trigger, said Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey."
“He told me he dropped the rifle,” Donald Poulin said. “He wrote it on the notepad. He said, ‘Dad, I just dropped the rifle and it accidentally discharged.’”

Who the hell does not unload their rifles before getting in their vehicle to go home for the day. I bet that caliber really ripped his face in half too.

There's no such thing as an unloaded rifle, or at least if you treat all rifles like they're loaded stupid shit like this doesn't happen.

Police say Dale Poulin was showing his rifle to friends when he put it under his chin and pulled the trigger, not knowing the gun was loaded.
Good shoot! I really don't understand people doing shit like this. I do fully believe that stupid should hurt though. |

“It was one of those cases which clearly involved carelessness, passing a rifle around, and no one made sure, obviously, it was not loaded. And then they do something as careless as putting the rifle under their chin and pulling the trigger,” Massey said. |

Because - those ARENT the rules.
Those are the kind of rules that get people killed. Is that the kind of shit they are teaching now? Keeping your gun unloaded is a stupid rule, and it is the kind of shit that causes "I thought it was unloaded" accidents. 1. All guns are always loaded. 2. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and ready to fire. 3. Never point your muzzle at something you are not willing to destroy. 4. Be sure of your target, and what is behind it. Those are the rules.

I have chamber safety flags on some of my rifles and I still check them every time. I'm absolutely paranoid about it. Of course you do. Chamber flags don't change anything about gun handling. Chamber flags are for OTHER people so see the gun should be empty, after it has been properly called clear by visual and physical inspection. They aren't a "I don't have to follow procedure anymore" handicap. There is no need to be paranoid. Paranoia is based on fear. Simply, be methodical. |

Quoted:
All guns are always loaded. And have laser beams on the muzzle end that only gets placed on anything you are willing to destroy. That mental image is perfect. My oldest is still learning the Big 4, but he can recite Eddie Eagle like a champ. Before looking at a gun with me, he explains what to do if he encounters a gun, and always asks if it's ok to look at my guns with me. He knows which end is the "dangerous end" and isn't even in grade school. Despite the number of patients I see with negligent GSWs, I'm still amazed at how cavalier people are with where they point the dangerous end. Which reminds me, I got muzzled in Cabelas just a day or two ago my an employee.

Treat every weapon as if it is loaded.
Never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire. Keep your weapon on safe until you are intend to fire. No your target and what lies beyond it. There are no accidents. Only negligence. |
