    what the h*ll was he doing? I must admit, I snicker whenever someone accidentally shoots his self. (It’s always a male, ain’t it?) Honestly, the rules of gun handling are so short, so clear, so precise, it really isn’t that difficult to avoid the thing going off accidentally. If you’re big bad thug, however, you don’t need to follow the same rules as the rest of us, so carry a loaded gun in your waist band, big guy! I’m armed almost daily–a full magazine but not one in the chamber, which admittedly adds a second to my response time, but that’s one second that speaks for itself–and I’ve never had an accidental discharge. My mom used to have a saying: “It’s his own stupid-ass fault.” I think I’ll dust that baby off for a new generation.
