Victor (NY) man fires bullet into home while cleaning gun

Are you to also blame Toro for the idiots that use their snow blowers to clear their roofs? Or Ford/Chevy/etc for the idiots driving 90mph through the city?
We keep making exception for morons throughout society and then wonder how the hell did we get here.
Is it that much of an issue to actually look in the friggin chamber to see if a round is present? I have yet to find an instance when I couldn't see the chamber of my Walther or Glock. I have one basic rule. If you can't follow firearms safety, you shouldn't own or use one. I don't care if it's military, LEO, or private citizen. There's NO excuse for lack of general safety practices.

Nahh. Come on man that's not the same. I am extremely careful and prudent especially and always when firearms handling and cleaning. But pulling a trigger on a firearm to take it down just isn't the greatest of greats of manufacturing. That's what I'm saying. I do have to do it too like I posted, but stillll think its retarted.

That being said, whether you have to pull the trigger to break the gun down or not, it's doubly moronic and irresponsible to not bother to check the chamber before you further handle the gun.

It is the same, blaming the manufacturer for something when it's the object between the ears that makes 100% of the difference. There's a million and one ways to do things, they could put speed limiters in cars that would only allow 65 on the highway and 30 in cities, and forcing the cities to have RF posts that would tell the cars that they're in cities. It's for the children!
Making snow blowers that weigh 300# so they couldn't be easily lifted to a roof.
We're making excuses for the lack of brains and common sense in the world.
Could they make a Glock or others field strip differently, sure, but it works well and is super simple. So is looking in the chamber.

Completely agree. Never did I diagree with that.

I don't know, it must just be me...

Every single time I "TOUCH" my gun... I know, repeat I "KNOW" it's loaded! Even when it isn't... But really, all my guns, every single one is loaded, every mag is loaded whether it be in my carry rig, or spares, all ready to go, always! What do you do when SHTF, ask geeeee, wait a moment, I need to load my mag? Anyways...

So, when I'm handling it, it's loaded, I exercise the proper firearm safety rules required to avoid this type of scenario! And when I bought my Glock, and still now, it bothers me that the breakdown requires a trigger pull. But when you consider the design, it's actually a good Darwin device! With the exception these idiots don't observe other safety rules as well, like not pointing the Damned thing "UP" when pulling the trigger, ie, safe direction! Maybe glock should have written the directions to point the gun at your face when pulling the trigger, or look down the barrel when pulling the trigger to release the slide. Maybe then these idiots would make sure they're unloaded.

So, I have no love lost for these idiots who somehow or another, even for a second, think with their empty brains, that the gun is unloaded when they didn't look, check, rack, etc., "BEFORE" pulling the trigger! Just a Damned idiot numbskull moron!

: )

any gun at all times should be treated as loaded

Man. If you're gonna have a negligent discharge at least do it properly via flailing around your gun haphazardly while humming the 007 theme song. Having a ND while cleaning your gun is just stupid.
