I hate to disappoint you love but my best friend was shot in the face in
her home by her cousin.  Both were active hunters and had taken gun safety
courses through out their lives.  Both were raised around guns and new to
respect them.

The reason she was shot is still murky but from what we know, he was moving
the gun (brining it to or from his father) and it went off.  None of them
were prepared for it, he wasn't aiming for her, nor was he playing with.
The police officially labeled it a freak accident.

Add this to the emergency room case I came across while waiting with a
friend of the guy who shot himself in the leg as he was loading his riffle
and ended up shooting his wife in the thigh.

Guns aren't safe, no matter how well you train and treat them with respect.

He pops into my trailer and drops this bomb on me and now
I have to try and concentrate on blood lust and orc slaughtering when
all I can think about is making out with the blonde elf.
