Default Navy Seal Shoots Self In Head

You would think, with the level of firearms training these guys receive, he'd have known better.....Just goes to show it can happen to anyone.

Why not? It is a relevant news story and serves as a reminder to everyone on here that, regardless of years of experience or training, to treat every weapon as it is loaded. A reminder to not become complacent and take anything for granted when handling a firearm......

Why would you even put a gun to your head, whether loaded or unloaded???

"Cali says the man was showing guns to a woman he'd met earlier at a bar and put a pistol he believed was unloaded to his head. Cali says he then pulled the trigger."

Bar & woman = should have known better. Even a SEAL can have moments of stupidity. May he rest in peace.
