Zackary Alan Stahn, 20, Wyndmere, accidentally shot himself in the wrist Friday night. He was transported by ambulance to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The press release said Stahn was reportedly cleaning his .22 rifle at about 11 p.m. when he shot himself in the wrist.
His condition is not known at this time and the accident is under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office.What's your opinion? Do you think his daddy taught him the basic rules of gun safety when he was younger? What could account for such dangerous negligence? Remember with the same exact action, he could have killed someone.
The pro-gun extremists are quick to forgive incidents like this, they're just accidents, they say. These are the same guys who continually remind us that you cannot take away someone's gun rights because he might do something in the future.
Well, my one-strike-you're-out should be right up their alley. People who have gun "accidents" have proven themselves to be negligent and dangerous to themselves and others. No one of them should get a second chance at that.
