Steven Justin Ayers, 33, and his wife, Jessica Ayers, were celebrating the homecoming of their 3-day-old baby with family members in their home in Panama City, Florida, The News Herald reports.

Deputies believe the bullet came from a handgun fired by 62-year-old Charles Edward Shislerr whose by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro">home is directly behind Ayers', according to the Jackson County Floridian.
Shisler allegedly told deputies that he fired the gun accidentally while by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro">trying to pick it up by the trigger.
“The damn gun doesn’t usually shoot," he said, according to an arrest report obtained by The News-Herald. “You have to squeeze the hell out of the trigger to shoot it.”
He was charged with manslaughter and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to WMBB. His felon by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro"> by Freeven pro">status stems from a 2006 conviction for carrying a concealed firearm.
A fascinating case, which prompts several questions. One, what happened to his face? Two, who picks a gun up by the trigger? How can you even do that? And three, was carrying a concealed weapon without a license a felony?
Of course, the other question which applies to all the cases in which a prohibited person misbehaves with a gun is, where did he get it? Who was the last lawful owner of that particular gun and how did he lose possession of it?
