Re: This is very sad, but let us all learn from this.

I just don't buy all these "gun cleaning" accidents that always seem to create a perfect kill shot. The number one cause of death for pregnant women is violence at the hand of a man. Sounds fishy. Perfect head shot to the back of the head, what are the odds? Anyway regarding the weapons safety training in the military,here's an incident I experienced while in the Army. We all came off the range with our M-16's. As per range protocol, we all had the bolts locked to the rear, magazines out, and every weapon was rodded by a safety officer to check for a live round. We were sitting in the bleachers waiting for the others to finish shooting. Most soldiers had their rifle butts resting on the bleacher footrest and pointing straight up with one hand holding the barrel. A guy one row in front of me was talking, all the while jiggling his 16 near his feet. He hit the butt a little too hard on the bleachers, the bolt slammed forward, and a round went off. It narrowly missed his face.
