This thread has nothing to do about CCP, pro-guns, or anti-guns. Ok , got that out of the way.
Just last week in our city a guy was cleaning his pistol and it went off killing his wife in the next room. Few years ago a great guy I know who I always felt was a gun expert shot himself in the arm cleaning a pistol.
Am certain it just comes down to laziness in not properly checking your weapon. Is there a need for some type of safety mechanism to prevent this? It doesn't seem it should be that hard to tell if a gun is loaded or not.
Or I guess it comes down to the old adage that accidents are going to happen. That is why I have bandages in my shop.
