Joshua Jordan's father was cleaning his .45-caliber handgun at a Port Charlotte home after returning from a local gun range when the firearm discharged and struck Jordan. Cops arrived on the scene to find the Joshua Jordan lying on his back in a "pool of blood" while John and Jennifer Jordan were performing CPR.
Joshua Jordan was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office says the shooting was an accident, and no charges were filed. A weapons expert told local TV station Fox 4 that he has seen this tragedy play out too many times, and offered a series of tips. "Number one, treat every firearm as if its loaded," John Dezendorf told the station. "Number two, do not point it in the direction that you are not willing to destroy. Number 3, dont you put your finger on that trigger until you have acquired your target and you want to shoot your firearm."

First rule before leave the range and cleaning, always visually and physically inspect that the gun is loaded.

First rule before leave the range and cleaning, always visually and physically inspect that the gun is loaded. Dumb post. You always act like the gun is loaded. Don't "inspect" the gun and then point it at someone when you clean after you established it isn't. Just ensure you're not pointing it at someone, period. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Number 3, dont you put your finger on that trigger until you have acquired your target and you want to shoot your firearm." How about Number 1: make sure the fucking gun is unloaded before you clean it This is pretty elementary stuff, and I think it's ridiculous that this is considered an accident when it is actually pure negligence. --- ...

This idiot should never have had a gun if he did not practice anykind of safety.
A gun should be unloaded before getting to the range with gun, magazine, and bullets all separated. Then after your done shooting at the range the gun should be EMPTY, magazine taken out, chamber checked, and bullets stored. Gun safety is always the top priority, safety first, safety always. --- "Always two there are, a master and an apprentice" ... Copied to Clipboard!

UnfairRepresent posted...Tropicalwood posted...First rule before leave the range and cleaning, always visually and physically inspect that the gun is loaded. Exactly. Just because you're supposed to treat it as if it's always loaded doesn't mean you shouldn't also make sure it's unloaded before performing certain actions. Half of the "pretend it's always loaded" rule is about developing good habits, which is why you do that even when you know for a fact it's empty. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why in the blue hell was he cleaning a loaded gun? I was in Cabelas the other day and it's scary to see how many people who shouldn't be buying guns were there buying guns. Sure their background checks could be fine but sometimes people just don't realize just how dangerous a gun is.

This is a dumb post. Someone who has a conceal carry permit does not have to transport his firearm unloaded and locked up. You're saying you should never check the gun to make sure it's loaded before transportation to and from the range, and cleaning. For example, a glock will require the trigger to be pulled, are you the type of person that wants to punch a hole through your wall while cleaning because "every gun is treated as if it is loaded, so why should it matter if it actually is" --- ayy lmao ayy lmao || oaml oaml yya yya ayy lmao ayy lmao || oaml oaml yya yya ...

The guy in the article just came back from thr local gun range, he was not concealed carry, that is what I based my post on.
If a person has a concealed carry license then they have to be extremely careful, but I would hope people with concealed carry are all about safety as most intelligent gun owners do. --- "Always two there are, a master and an apprentice" ... Copied to Clipboard!

Even when I pull them from my gun safe. When I conceal carry I always lock and clear my firearm before loading it. If your finger is on the trigger than you are an idiot and aren't performing proper weapon safety. Your finger SHOULD NOT be on the trigger unless 1. You are performing weapon maintenance in which case you locked and cleared the weapon first. 2. Performing dry drills in which case you lock and clear the weapon first. 3. Are at the range actively shooting in which case you should be locking and clearing according to range safety rules. At no time should you be handling a firearm without verifying that the weapon does or does not have rounds in the chamber. Transportation is irrelevant. ... Copied to Clipboard!

A friend of mine used to work at a pawn shop, and he said they would have stupid people come in every day and set loaded guns on the counter wanting to pawn. He would always ask if it was loaded before actually checking, and 9/10 times they would tell him it was not.
