That's some bad autocorrect. Probably an ND from the woman, or a really good alibi...

Yep saw that. Accidental no charge were given hmmmm.

[Keoroshi]

probably went something like this:
“lemme make sure this gun is empty by looking down the barrel and pulling the trigger at the same time”

“ok”

[tabascoz28]

See here honey, you look down the barrel with me.

ugh. that's terrible, both for those involved and potentially for the rest of us if the story gets the attention of gun control jerks.

even more terrible, now i will always think "Rancho Cucamagnum" every time i drive east.

Wonder if they were together? Newbies? This really worries me with so many new gun owners this could happen to anyone. Imagine being in the next stall when someone with no or limited knowledge does something stupid. Ranges have been really crowded lately too. Maybe I’ll just go midweek when it’s less crowded going forward.

"accidentally goes off"

No it didn't. It didn't just take it upon itself to "go off".

It was a preventable negligent action by a human being, and likely an incident to be expected derived from one of the "new types" of gun owners that shunned gun owners and gun ownership for years, voted FOR gun control laws like Prop 63, voted FOR anti-2nd Amendment politicians because some other such thing was promised to be free, wants nothing to do with the NRA (has never heard of the CRPA for that matter), never took the time to read the manual, never took the time to take even a beginner course, never even took the time to watch a few free videos about gun ownership online, surely never took the time to learn 4 basic Jeff Cooper/NRA rules of safety because gun owners are crazy/phobic/racist/terrorists/something-something etc.

Because they know, she knows, he knows, they got this.

They removed the 'clip', it ain't loaded, see?

This is the exact reason I prefer outdoor. It maybe further out for me, but being able to either rent your own bay or least have a proper amount of rso at stalls, is a lot more comforting. Especially in COVID times. Also the indoor one near me makes you use their reloads to shoot if you bring your own gun.

Always treat a gun as though it is loaded


Very sad to hear. RIP.

Lady from Compton, guy from Claremont. Maybe a romantic rendezvous at the range?

There will probably be an educational video about this on liveleak in a few days. I am assuming he was cleared via security cameras that was mounted at the range.
