Police: Teen dies after boys shoot at each other while wearing body armor

[blackbeard]

Absolutely stupid, but why do I see a lawsuit against another gun company or the company that made the vest.

Joe Biden is that you?

Nope, it's me, Ted Cruz, on spring vacation with daughter, just playing Texas shoot-um games to get to know her boyfriend.

We joke about Florida man and Darwin but in all reality this is why firearm education/hunters safety needs to be taught in schools.

Or adults that own guns need to take responsibility for their deadly weapons and keep them out of the hands of children.

The schools should teach your children gun safety?

Schools can't even teach kids how babies are made and how to not make babies without starting a political shit show.

Imo the people who gave those kids access to guns should be criminally liable.

I didn’t say they need to teach my children firearm safety.

With the number of hunttalkers that have taken hunters education as part of school it’s quite evident that it is wanted, and appreciated.

As a hunters education instructor who spent 4 hours answering questions from teachers and setting up 2 different hunters Ed classes as part of the curriculum in our local school this morning I will let you rest assured that the schools (in my area and others as evident in Colorado last week) want this, the parents want it, and the teachers do too.

There was a reason my parents made my brother and me share a pellet gun.

I got my hunters ed in the early 90's at school. The ag teacher was the instructor and we took the class after hours if I remember correctly.

Totally unrelated to these special needs Florida teens, but likely the most memorable part of the last hunter safety session I attended with my kid (I think bowhunter ed), was the quicker to hurdle than run around instructor woman, wearing a tee-shirt that said "Double Ds coming at ya!"

But they were actually probably EEs, or maybe Fs if there are such things.

Pics or it didn’t happen…..

When my oldest daughter took hunters ed. they took the kids out to the range for a day of shooting. At one point the lead instructor did a little demonstration by making a line consisting of several different types of gunpowder with black powder on the end, then he set fire to it. The idea was to show the kids how dangerous gun powder was so they wouldn't play with it. ARE YOU KIDDING? You create a really cool explosive fire in front of a bunch of mostly 10 -12 year old boys in hopes that they won't "try this at home." I'm sure those boys couldn't get their hands on some gunpowder fast enough after seeing that. I don't think that instructor had kids. Hell, I kinda wanted to go light some off.

I think we might be being a little hard on the teenagers though. I have read plenty of accounts of grown ass men shooting each other in the bullet proof vest or playing William Tell after a couple of beers.

Adults can take full responsibility for their stupid actions.

The owners of the guns that these kids got ahold of need to be held accountable, here.

Yah better not let them teach drivers ed either.

My sister and I shot at each other with BB guns, then graduated to throwing darts. Still see the image of her running to the house with that dart flopping in her thigh.

Aah, the good ol’ days.

Lol remember lawn darts. Yeah we did that.

Just a thought. Slap the parents across the face and tell them to deal with it. It's very sad but I can definitely see where this went wrong. But I'm willing to bet the parents want a multimillion dollar lawsuit.

Stuff like this and more is the reason all our classes these days mostly consist of PowerPoint programs. I was personally present for an instructor touching off an allegedly unloaded flintlock muzzleloader in the parking lot once.

Yup the gun did it.

If someone’s kids steal their car and run someone over do the parents get held accountable?

How many firearms do you personally own? Don't need specifics, but number of pistols, revolvers, rifles (including AR'S), and shot guns. Thanks. mtmuley
