A 26-year-old Phoenix man accidentally killed himself early Sunday while explaining gun safety to two Sierra Vista residents.
Samuel Benally Jr. was at an apartment on West Tacoma Street when he said guns should be kept unloaded because people could point them at their heads, said Sierra Vista police Sgt. Brett Mitchell.
Benally then demonstrated by putting his own 9mm Ruger, which he believed to be unloaded, to his head and firing it, Mitchell said.
Benally was flown to University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, Mitchell said.
An investigation is ongoing, but police do not believe alcohol or drugs were involved, Mitchell said.

Oh yea, and I've got the scars to prove it. But my dad taught me never to show off with guns. This guy must have missed this lesson.

Re: And people don't believe in Darwin....
Bingo. Those two will now probably become ardent anti-gunners, telling their personal story far and wide. Stupidity is often spectacular in its own demise, and this will not soon be forgotten by those who witnessed it nor the people they influence...JReed wrote:Wow. Now here is the serious side.

Re: And people don't believe in Darwin....
Wow, what an Idiot. I wish that we could ensure that such stupidity does not affect our owning guns.

Murphy is finding a live cartridge in an "unloaded" gun.
Darwin is finding it by putting the gun to your head and pulling the trigger...
