There is quite a debate on the merits of carrying with a round chambered. I don’t carry, but I do keep my weapon chambered at home.

Now as to whether you are supposed to kill anyone with a legally owned firearm, you are correct. Though, people do so all the time in self defense and are not charged with any crime.

Man that's cold as ice...and I'm agreeing completely!!!

@Freespirit64 I'm done with pretending to give a shit when stupid people get themselves killed. I'm also done pretending to give a shit when stupid believers die.
I'm just grateful they've been culled from the herd.

@Gooniesnvrdie You're correct. When I have to speak to the bereaved, I don't. I just give them a hug and an encouraging smile, and move on. The comments are sickening and stale. All about being in a better place... and the suffering is over... and keep them in your heart and god is watching over them.. and the worst of all: "It's a blessing". All BS. It hurts to lose a loved one, but over time it'll hurt less. Everyone knows that. Why people think they have to offer verbal platitudes is beyond me.

@Gooniesnvrdie I haven't seen that. I'll have to check youtube

@Gooniesnvrdie, @Closeted My late husband's grandfather and grandmother were loyal catholic churchgoers, and every week they put cash into the box. When the grandfather passed away, the church refused to allowed him to be buried there because there was no record that he had ever contributed to the church. His wife left the church that day and never returned.

@Gooniesnvrdie Just watched it. Oh, I gotta see that movie!!!!

@Gooniesnvrdie My sentiments exactly

@Gooniesnvrdie Your comment reminded me of my Uncles funeral. I sat right in front of my mom and the preacher just starting going on and on and on about heaven and didn't say one word about my Uncle. I don't think my mom meant to say it as loud as she did but she said He wouldn't have wanted to listen to this shit. I laugh thinking about it

@Gooniesnvrdie Its embarassing how the preachers make the funeral about themselves and make a spectacle. Just say a few words and shut the hell up.

Thanks for the info. I missed it that the gun was a prop but your info puts this entire mess in a similar light as the death of Brandon Lee while filming "The Crow." Prop guns are not supposed to shoot.

@DenoPenno I think Brandon Lee died from a blank cartridge fired from a real gun. The blank was just fired too close. He was actually killed by the cardboard wadding that hit him as though it was a lead bullet. If I recall correctly.

@Gooniesnvrdie Yup.... After checking again... It was "supposed" to be a blank. It got mixed up with real bullets somehow. Poor kid!

@DenoPenno, @RiverRick, @Gooniesnvrdie why would someone have a gun in their pocket pointing up? I mean, if you are dumb enough to put a loaded gun in your pocket - would you not have the handle so you could grab it 1st?

@Heidi68 Who knows... Accidents happen. Perhaps he had it in a jacket pocket for use later. We'll probably never know.

@RiverRick true. Just seems odd.

@Heidi68 " why would someone have a gun in their pocket pointing up? I mean, if you are dumb enough to put a loaded gun in your pocket - would you not have the handle so you could grab it 1st?"
That is why people who pocket carry usually also have the gun inside a pocket holster.

@dahermit true - pocket holster would still have it pointing down.

Yea, I looked it up. A prop gun, some, will fire and expell a small padding and plastic. At close range the blast can do damage (against the head) or in this case the guy got hit in the eye. Definitely not in his pocket, but the family won't face that possibility.

@Gooniesnvrdie Yes, Lee got hit by misfired and inaccuracy of rounds for realism.
