Uneducated gun owners often think their gun is unloaded when one is in the chamber. Some states have mandated education, and the NRA campaigns on education. Unfortunately, we still see these types of mistakes. It is so sad...
I grew up with tons of guns, mostly rifles in my home, and my dad always taught us to NEVER point a gun at someone. My brother, when he was eight, pointed a gun at me, and I flipped out. He never did that again. I don't own a gun, and am conflicted about the issue now. If you have guns, please, please...store them away from your children in a gun safe with the bullets somewhere else and educate everyone near them about gun safety!!
