Man Accidentally Shoots Self While Guarding 'Muslim-Free' Oktaha Gun Store

OKTAHA, Oklahoma - The Muskogee County sheriff said a member of the group guarding an Oktaha gun shop accidentally shot himself Tuesday.
Sheriff Charles Pearson said the man dropped his gun and a bullet hit him in the arm. The sheriff did not identify the man or offer any other details about what happened.

"I saw several of those gentlemen out there yesterday," Pearson said. "The way they were holding their weapons, with the fingers on the triggers, you can tell a couple of these gentlemen have no idea about weapons safety. It's like the Clampetts have come to town," Sheriff Pearson told muskogeenow.com.

"Everybody is entitled to say what they feel, and the other people are entitled to tell them how they feel about their opinion. When that gets out of control, that's where we come in. The only thing that I ask, if they are true patriots, that when the threats do come or the undesirables do show up, call us and allow us to handle it," he said.


Okay, some yahoo shoots a hole in the parking lot (for the second time) with his AR while "guarding" a recruiting center and this character shoots himself guarding a gun store.

Geeze guys, guns are dangerous and carrying them around in public ups needle on the danger meter. Why was there a round in the chamber? Did the gun have a mechanical safety and if so why wasn't it engaged? What kind of cheap shit gun discharges when dropped and who the fuck would want it?

When can we divorce the "law abiding responsible" words from the "gun owner" words?
