From News of the Weird

It's these sort of stories that remind us that Darwin is alive and well and laughing his butt off somewhere...

1. Every firearm is always loaded.
2. Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire.
3. Never point a firearm at anything you are not prepared to destroy.
4. Always be sure of your target and what's behind it.

The REAL problem with guns in America is that they are so expensive an I don't have more of them!!!
