Dope.

Clearly the pistol was not being handled safely.

Who unloads a pistol in a moving vehicle? Why was the pistol not aimed at the ground? Why was it being unloaded in a moving vehicle?

Genius written all over it.

Josiah Dean, 18, of Merrimack, started unloading a revolver while sitting in the back seat. The gun discharged and a round struck the front seat where Dean's brother was sitting.

Excuse me while I go look for the needle from my Bullshit Meter that just flew across the room.

I'll put money on:

Josiah Dean, 18, of Merrimack, was in the back seat, f***ing around with a loaded gun, when his finger pulled the trigger rearward, discharging a round that struck the front seat where Dean's brother was sitting.

 

[Ricochet]

I frequently mix up the trigger and cylinder release. Especially when I am driving..at night.[sarcasm]

Maybe more like this:

Clueless Josiah Dean, 18, of Merrimack, started unloading a revolver while sitting in the back seat by cocking the hammer and then attempting to swing open the cylinder. While struggling to release the cylinder Josiah's booger hook came in contact with the bang switch whereupon the gun discharged and a round struck the front seat where Dean's brother was sitting instead of hitting him, which should have been the natural result of his stupid actions.

Additionally it was reported that Josiah was treated at the scene for bruises around the head and ears while his brothers complained of sore hands.

I lead my little brother by about 1 car length when he drives by, but he guns the engine or brakes and I just end up kicking up dust.

obvously a saftey "mishap" in that they shouldn't have been loading or unloading guns in a moving vehicle. It appears they need some remedial saftey classes...

It could have been worse (like Pulp Fiction)

Doesn't sound like an accidental discharge to me. More like a negligent discharge.

 

[Roastie]

Thank goodness it was a revolver, if it was a semi-auto he may have shot his brother multiple times while dropping the mag by accident.

 

[Pilgrim]

A law that says no loading or unloading while in a vehicle would have prevented this.

My problem is cleanning the guns while driving.I cant seem to really get the bore clean when doing 70mph.

Saw a women on the highway yesterday fixing her hair, talking on the cell phone, and drinking a coffee WHILE driving 70mph+. And you can't clean a pistol at that speed???
