There needs to be PSA's about the 4 rules of Firearms Safety.

Cliff Notes;

34 year old Brother convinces 31 year old sister his gun is loaded with blanks. Sister shoots brother in head. Brother later dies.

On a side note, I remember years ago about an actor in some secret agent spy show that unintentionally killed himself. He had a prop gun loaded with blanks. As I remember it, he held the gun to his temple as a joke and pulled the trigger. As a result, the gun fired the wadding, and a lot of gas pressure, into the actor's head, killing him.

Just another drop of bleach in the gene pool.

Sorry, but I hold no sympathy for them. That's just plain stupid.

IIRC there was a pastor who was preaching and used a gun loaded with blanks as a prop for an illustration and killed himself in front of his congregation.

Sounds like a setup. He wanted to kill himself and couldn't do it, so he convinced his sister to do it for him. Maybe he didn't like her very much...

That was my first thought. I didn't have a second thought on the issue.

John Eric Hexum.

The show was called Cover Up. It was a decent show. Kinda like Knight Rider in a lot of ways.

Guns are dangerous and they need to be treated with respect. Some people just don't get it.
