Deadly Gun Safety Lesson
05.21.09Safety wasn’t much applied at this particular gun safety lesson. If you own a gun, it is a very good thing to practice safety and teach it often. Just hold to the 4 rules and you will never end up like this guy.
Tucson, Arizona | 05.17.2009 - A 26-year-old Phoenix man accidentally killed himself early Sunday morning while explaining gun safety to two Sierra Vista residents.Samuel Benally Jr. was at an apartment on West Tacoma Street when he said people should keep their guns unloaded because someone could point it at their heads, said Sierra Vista police Sgt. Brett Mitchell.Benally then demonstrated by putting his own .9 mm Rueger, 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 deceased, Mitchell said.An investigation is ongoing; police do not believe alcohol or drugs were involved, Mitchell said.

Rule #1 Always make sure the gun is unloaded
# May 28th, 2009 at 3:55 pmnever point a gun at anything you do not want to
shoot. Looks like his ego killed him.
Rule #1 Always assume its loaded…I learned this when I was 12. He was a police officer. This was the most retarded mistake I have ever heard of.
Btw, rule # 2, If someone is pointing a gun at you, A: assume its loaded, B: assume they mean to kill you. Obviously this was lost on him.
Rule #3 Never point a gun at anything you dont intend to kill. Even yourself.
