Too close to home

I ran across this article today.

Dumbass. I hope he ends up in Walpole for nightly PMITA sessions.
Unfortunately, the only thing he'll probably learn from this, is to make sure the gun is loaded next time before attempting to shoot someone.

Sounds like the cops did everything calmly, cooly, and correctly. As to the original tenant who retrieved his apparently unloaded gun: WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? If the gun is unloaded, you would have been better served grabbing a hammer.

Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. The tenant may have planned on loading the revolver and events unfolded too quickly. Still, I'd rather grab a loaded gun than an unloaded one.

WAY too close to home. I live less than 5 miles from there. Granted, that's the other side of the tracks, but still too close for comfort.

Dude. This is the type of crap that anti's love to read. Any idiot who stores an HD gun unloaded has not only had his mind polluted by anti thinking but they have now just played into the hands of anti's in demeaning gun owners everywhere who they say are inept at protecting themselves. Dumbass!

Maybe he was encumbered by Massachusetts safe storage laws.

I wouldn't be surprised. But on the bright side, at least it kept the children safe.

Especially with a revolver! Keep that thing loaded and just lock it up when you leave if you aren't going to carry.

Storing an unloaded gun for HD is like going to a dance w/o girls

google maps says that's 1.7 miles from home, kinda close!

Big difference though is that I won't have to take time to load any rounds

Maybe there are young kids in the house. Time to get an easy-access safe.

Saw this in the T&G. Unfortunately it looks like this kid is/was a student at WPI, my alma mater :-(
