There is one thing I never understood about “accidental” firearm discharges…At what point, in either cleaning your handgun or showing it to buddies, do you point it at yourself and pull the trigger?

Quite a shame. I’m no rocket surgeon now, but when I think back to my late teens/early 20’s, I am amazed I survived that period. There were plenty of situations where I was that close to a really bad outcome.
I don’t think “smart” and “risk-taker” are mutually exclusive. At any age. Kind of makes me want to go home and hug the kids.

What is a rocket surgeon?
As for being smart and that of a risk taker being mutually exclusive. Maybe we should cut Brian some slack.

I think a more appropriate question is “Where was Mike Skeen when this kid shot himself”? Up and coming pro racers in a bad economy…

LOL, I actually have a friend who is a neurosurgeon, an astronaut with the European Space Agency, and Irish. He is hoot to go out drinking with - endless jokes and stories.
