Randy Meisner's Wife Accidentally Shot and Killed
Posted on 3/8/16 at 8:14 am

Lana Rae Meisner is said to have moved a rifle when it accidentally discharged at her Los Angeles home on Sunday
does this part make it sound suspicious?
Last year, Randy Meisner was placed under 24-hour court-ordered care after threatening to kill himself and others. He allegedly threatened murder-suicide with an AK-47 assault rifle and a pile of pills in January 2015.

Yep.
Moving a rifle and shooting yourself is always sketchy.
Get the Heebie Jeebies whenever I clean my pistols and even look down the barrel. That is after I've checked it 5 times that it's unloaded or even if the barrel is removed for a full cleaning.
so any scenario where are person is shot on accident by themselves makes me suspicious.

Yes. This is sketchy. Meisner's health has been poor. However, he sounded optimistic about making the Kennedy Center Honors (rescheduled because of Frey's poor health - and he ultimately died before it could happen).
Despite what movies and gun control advocates will have you believe, modern firearms don't just "go off." I don't know what type or brand of rifle. Let me spell it out for you (and, yes, accidents can happen):
1. The weapon has to be loaded, with a round in the chamber. (I understand keeping a ready pistol in condition 0 or 1, but a rifle in storage?)
2. You have to have the muzzle pointed in an unsafe direction.
3. The weapon (this is a long gun) must have a broken safety or be on "fire."
4. You have to pull the trigger.
The explanation here is that something shifted and manipulated the trigger - plausible, but I'm sure formulated by the lawyers. Maybe it is what happened. The cops will investigate it, I'm sure.
So, all ADs are sketchy to me in the modern era. Guns don't just "go off." However, accidents do happen and machines do fail (like safety devices).

The Remington 700 rifle had a huge recall for a faulty trigger. Would discharge even with the safety on and had a number of deaths linked to it. Not that I think that's what happened here, but it's not unheard of

Yeah, the Walker trigger controversy. But, keep in mind a universe of almost 8 million triggers, and only a few dozen were even implicated. Not to take the Remington line (I'm still boycotting them) - but they were able to establish that some of the discharges were related to triggers adjusted out of recommended specs, deferred maintenance, other abuse, or admissions of "could have" pulled the trigger.
The military misfires are the most credible to me, because some of them were filmed specifically for that purpose. Interestingly enough, the military still uses the Walker trigger for some applications.
So, the odds of this being an actual, legitimate Walker trigger issue is about a billion to 1 - a million to 1 if it turns out to be a Remington 700.

They've been together for almost 30 years (1988). This was his birthday weekend (he's 70 today).
They're saying it was a drunken domestic dispute now. Possible she went to shoot him. Possible they fought over the gun. Cops appear to be buying his story, currently.
She called the cops on him. They took a report and left. He called back 90 minutes later and said she'd been shot.
I guess she took him to the limit one last time, huh?

Was she mowing the grass?

Just to update this story - apparently, there is surveillance footage from inside the house that establishes, more or less, Meisner's version of what happened.
Bottom line: Loaded rifle, in case, in closet. Case also contained spurs (as in spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle) - she moved the case, the spurs shifted inside the case and discharged the weapon.
Crazy as that story sounds, apparently the cops are satisfied - at this point - with this investigation based on the surveillance footage that was readily supplied by Meisner himself.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier...

That's bad luck, I thought for sure he killed her.

I was leaning that direction as well. My thought process now is that she went for the gun because she was going to shoot him!
