Yeah, I suppose we can scratch another one of those "responsible" gun owners off the list.

I'm usually a fairly empathic person and try to be understanding of painful situations, but this thread actually made me laugh out loud.

Man takes "selfie" while driving, crashes into tree

I don't know if he's guilty of this, but a 43 year old man who takes selfies on a regular basis has something wrong with him. But I do applaud him for having a twenty-something girlfriend.

It just goes to show that selfies/selfishness kills!

True, but did people rush in demanding cars getting banned?

What the heck?? WHY would somebody take pictures with a LOADED gun??!! Oh my, sometimes the stupidity one hears can burn one's ears!

Well as they say you can't fix stupid. Although in this case I'd say they suceeded.

Step 1: Remove magazine
Step 2: Rack slide and lock open, check chamber is clear
Step 3: Never, ever point an gun at anyone you don't intend to shoot.

I take pictures with loaded guns all the time. I just don't point them at my head and pull the trigger.

With his level of intelligence, I'm surprised he lasted 43 years!
