      Michael Thourot was shot in the left hand, and Sherri Thourot was hit in the left arm. Both were also listed in stable condition.

      In any type of fight, & especially gun fights, there are no winners ..... just varying degrees of losers. The only fight you win is the one you never get into.

              What?? Did the gun just up and start shooting people? Usually an 'accident' is one shot, this sounds like the gun went full auto with no one holding it.

                I suspect this wasn't a mechanical defect but poor trigger discipline

                  The reason I wear a vest at the range and my wife laughs. Won't stop a throat shot though.

                    Usually I'd agree with you, but with a Jennings it could go either way.

                      One of the guns that the anti's SHOULD get off the street. It's probably the only maker (maybe Davis) that the buy back programs only allow half credit towards a Target gift card.

                        Exactly...It was a Jennings. You either are lucky to get them to fire or as in this case,stop firing.
