Certainly a classic example of how alcohol and firearms do not mix well. Something tells me that in this guys' case, the alcohol wasn't really necessary. He was more than stupid enough without it.

He broke the #1 rule of gun ownership. Never point a gun at something you don't intend to shoot.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was just pointing out that the same idiots who don't know how to handle a gun also are the ones who don't follow the rule that every gun is loaded.
