Tragic & needless accident--father shoots/kills his seven year old son

[RugersGR8]

RULE NO.1 & 2----NEVER POINT THE WEAPON AT ANYTHING YOU DON'T INTEND TO SHOOT/KILL AND WHEN LOADING OR UNLOADING A WEAPON, ALWAYS CHECK TO SEE IF THERE IS A LOADED ROUND IN THE CHAMBER, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE UNLOADING THE WEAPON.

Heard about that. How tragic! Imagine having to live with yourself after killing your own child....

Sad deal for sure, always keep that muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

More than once I have caught novices thinking they ejected the live round......with the mag still place. Mag out first...then eject the round.

Very tragic.

I love how the article opens with "Authorities say a 7-year old boy was shot to death..." Sets a different tone for the story. Sad day, feel for the dad.
