Local news reports I sure hope this isn't our friend who calls himself Tennesseean. He's the only lawyer I know from Tennessee.
Murfreesboro attorney Guy Dotson Jr. remained in critical condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center Saturday after an accidental shooting while cleaning a gun.
According to the Murfreesboro Police Department incident report, police were called to his residence at 1504 Monticello Court around 10 p.m. Thursday and found Dotson lying on his bedroom floor where he fell after suffering a gunshot wound to his abdomen. He told police he was going to clean the pistol when it accidentally discharged.
Police noted that he had been struck in the right side of his abdomen and the bullet exited his middle back. First aid was started immediately until EMS and first responders could arrive.
If we hear from him later today I'd like to ask what he thinks about my one strike you're out suggestion. What's the difference between the guy who forgets there's a round in the chamber and kills a kid, the guy who shoots himself in the stomach and the guy who puts a round into the floor?
Not much, is my answer. The first two guys broke all Four Rules of Gun Safety. The third guy broke three.
In my opinion they should all lose their gun rights, minimum, in some cases they should go to jail too.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.
