Terrible. But how does an 18 year old fatally shoots themselves on accident? Tragic, but damn, how reckless.
So fucking sad. Jesus.
There are thousands of noobs out there handling guns right now. Anyone over 21 with a clean record can walk in a gun store and walk out that day with a deadly weapon. Auto loading pistols take a week and auto loading rifles take a two week wait in washington. In each case all you have to present to show you're qualified is a hokey online certificate that you watched an introductory training video.
If you're not aware, retailers across the nation have little or no inventory of firearms and ammo and haven't since the pandemic started.
I'm making assumptions here that may be way off, but still...auto loading pistols shouldn't be fucked with by noobs. There are so many common and easy mistakes that can cause accidental firing. I actually know a former marine (a drill seargent) who, while cleaning his 9mm in his apartment, had it go off. With many semi-auto pistols you flip a lever then pull the trigger to start basic disassembly for cleaning. He forgot to make that one last check for a round in the chamber. Thjs was a well trained and experienced guy who had cleaned thst gun countless times before. The bullet went through two exterior walls and a floor and across a courtyard and, tragically, right through some woman's head as she slept in bed. He was discharged, lost his right to own guns, and gets to carry that with him forever.
Here's a pretty good video about common causes of accidental discharge by the best gun video guy on youtube. https://youtu.be/1DcsW2JfaQ8

Love me some Paul. He’s such a geek but very solid.

He is one of the most effective, likable presenters I've ever seen on any topic. I only have actual interest in like 10 topics on his channel, but I think I've seen every video on there. Some more than once.
You might have seen the two long ones he posted with advice for first time, pandemic gun buyers. It pointed out a pretty scary reality to me. A lot of decent but ignorant people out there with guns right now shouldn't have them.

Are you suggesting we don’t have proper gun laws in this country? Take it to the Tug!!

Really poor taste on my part
Reminds me of Sean Taylor. Experience a glimpse of greatness at a young age and expecting so much more. And then completely senselessly it’s gone.
