We do see your point, but we had already touched on the subject before you even posted the link, explaining that there were stupid people in every bunch, and that it's responsible, knowledgable gun owners that are getting rounded up into the same category. Once again, a responsible gun owner is the pretty much the safest person in the world because the know the potential of their weapons and that sense of safety carries over into every other thing they do. I can't count how many times I've said that now.
Do Charley and I drink? Yes, we do. But we know better than to mix booze with guns. And so do responsible gun owners.
Just because I drink doesn't mean I want to get slobbering drunk. I've been drunk enough on more than one occasion to know that I'd much rather simply sit back and enjoy a few beers while watching football or a movie.
The guy got drunk, got in a fight, and got his gun.
This isn't exactly a once in a lifetime thing. A lot of homicides are commited while under the influence, the fact that this guy only shot himself is just luck.
