Gotta love how the liberal media is describing the NY shooting on the 18th, the news anchor here in TX said "he pointed it toward his friend, and it went off".

How many rungs up the ladder was this MORON??? Lets count them.

1) The idiot didn't verify the gun was clear (no mag & chamber empty).

2) The idiot didn't practice basic barrel etiquette (never sweep or point the barrel ANYWHERE other then to the ground or SAFE direction).

3) The idiot put his finger inside the trigger guard of a loaded gun without intent of discharge.

He was standing one rung from the top of the ladder!

Back to the media wording "it went off".

In over 30yrs of having loaded guns in my carry holster, in my vehicles, in instant access safes & in a long gun safe, I have YET to see one that "just went off".
