Wow! Complacency will get u killed. Reminds me of the pink panther movie Gun lighter.

How many AD/ND accidents would never occur if everyone simply followed the 4 rules of Gun safety? 99% or more I wonder?

This 'mistake' depends on the relationship between the deceased friend and the shop owner's wife.

I don't believe I've ever played the "shoot your friend in the face with a bb gun" game.

They must have had an interesting relationship.

You gotta be shi**in me....WTF....

Put me down under "I don't believe that story."

It's the old "It's not a real gun but only a BB gun so go ahead and shoot your friend in the face with it" story.

Details at 11:00.

So, we have now gone from "I didn't know it was loaded" to "I didn't know it was a gun"???

Beam me up Mr. Scott.

Shouldn't the headline read as 'Former Gun Shop Owner' ... or maybe I'm getting ahead of the lawsuit ;-(

Or, perhaps less likely, the deceased friend's wife and the shop owner...

Well, decades and decades ago, back when I first became a teenager, my older brother and I played a game, just once, that involved our Daisy 1894s.
I lost...

Everybody loses at that game.

A BB gun was my first gun growing up, and it was always treated with the same rules and respect as any firearm. Something isn't right here. Why would he (especially as someone who should know better) think that pointing even a BB gun at someone's face and pulling the trigger was ok? Remind me to never have friends like this.

If'n ya knowingly dip your wick in another's candle, don't be surprised if'n ya get burnt.

I would think someone that owns a gun store would be more cautious than that. Conversely, I'm always bubbleguming about how the world seems to be almost entirely populated by idiots...

Didn't your Mom tell you you could shoot your eye out?

 

[clanhanson]

Well yeah, he wasn't an actor paid to receive a supposed cold "prop" and regularly told to fire at or almost-at a fellow actor. Instead he's a buffoon that deserves to have his rights revoked.

 

[American123]

Ah, the old "shoot them in the face with the bb gun but it's actually a real gun," excuse.

I'd knock a "friend" out for shooting me with a bb gun so the premise from the get go is odd to me. I had a buddy in elementary who was having a bb gun fight with his brother and almost lost his eye.
