The Richland County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting that occurred Thursday afternoon on a farmstead near Barney, N.D. The shooting was found to be accidental, a release from the sheriff’s office states.Two idiots looking at a gun, saying to each other how cool it is. One ends up getting shot. And this incredibly common scene takes place in that most safe of all gun states, North Dakota.
At approximately 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11, Arnulfo Junior Lopez, rural Colfax, was showing George Standinger, 43, Plainview, Minn., a Longhorn .22 caliber pistol when it accidentally discharged. The bullet went into Standinger’s right leg and lodged in his ankle, the release states.
The victim was driven to St. Francis Healthcare Campus in Breckenridge, Minn., by private vehicle. His condition is unknown but is believed to be non-life-threatening.
You know, when something like this happens, it's not only the fault of the jerk who pointed the gun at someone and violated at least 2 more of the 4 Rules of Gun Safety. It's also the other guys fault.
Let me put it to you like this? Would you EVER let someone point a gun at you while his finger is on the trigger without saying something, slapping the gun away or just moving? No. Only another idiot would sit there and think, just like the one holding the gun, that it's not loaded.
In cases like this BOTH guys should be slapped with One Strike You're Out.
