Sad deal. Couldve been worse.

Also a buncha know it alls in here. Yes, safety and muzzle discipline has got to be first but we’ve all had a loaded gun pointed at us one time or another whether you know it or not. Just a freak accident. Quit running to say how you wouldve done it differently. Im sure Matt would damn sure unload the gun if he could go back.

and stories like this just reinforce how important it is to never load a firearm until you are ready to shoot. its really that simple

Nah. That’s the wrong way to take this and an unhelpful attitude to have.

Things like this should be used as teachable moments. It’s not a show of disrespect to the man that got shot. It’s a show of respect to everyone else to try to prevent these things from happening in the future.
