Two years ago i lost a friend to a gun incident. I dont know exactly what happened.I was not there,but i was told the story of what happened by a eye witness. The back story is that my father was a Marine and drilled into me the four safety rules. I knew from a very young age that guns were not to be messed with and if i saw someone playing with one to get to the nearest responsable adult. From what i am told Mike(the guy who died) Lost all RESPECT for the danger a Weapon has. I cant tarnish his name by calling what actions he took as stupid, irresponsible,idiotic and many other words describing the lack of care that he had in respect to the gun he had. Because his actions were. From what i understand he pointed a "REPLICA" handgun at his own head while joking around. The revolver was a .22 and the medics at the scene said he died instantly.
The reason i am writing this is because of something that happened last night. I asked Mikes best friend to go shooting with me. He would love to go but his wife is very upset about him going. She refrenced the death of Mike as the reason she didnt want to let her husband go shooting with me. If anyone has any idea of how to get her to change her mind let me know. I guess the whole point of the story is to not only know the 4 safety rules but to use them in your daily life.
