Sad deal. Happened about 3 miles from where me and my buddy were camped. Makes me wonder what exactly happened? Pistol in the pocket?....dropped rifle with a hair trigger and safety off? However it happened, prayers for his family.

Not sure how you actually would do that? I don't believe in accidental gun shot injures or deaths. Stupidity maybe! Accident...never. Takes one in the pipe and a trigger pull.....

I hear ya. Everytime I hear of something like this happening, I just don't see how it could. I don't know. I was raised to treat firearms with respect and common sense. Treat every gun like its loaded and never be negligent.

As a Hunter Ed instructor, this is sad sh!t to hear. Unfortunately, more examples for the class.

I’m seriously surprised more people don’t accidentally shoot them self. People are so care free with guns at times.

My first day elk hunting, my dad's friend who was kind enough to take a kid hunting almost killed me. He was unloading his rifle when he shot his truck, about 2 feet next to me.

It taught me numerous valuable lessons at 14 years old. There are no gun accidents, only careless lack of focus imo.
