Tragic event in Lincoln, NE
My heart goes out to this family and the young man involved in what appears to be a ND. It has been said many times by folks with more experience than myself (which pretty much covers everyone here at TFL ), but ALWAYS observe the four basic rules of safe firearms handling.
If you're relatively new to the world of firearms, and/or you don't know these rules forwards, backwards, and upside-down in the shower...then Google it, search TFL, ask a friend or fellow gun nut, take a course, or whatever you need to do to, but do not pass "GO" until you have them down. Quote:

Actually the tragedy goes deeper than the above news story; on THR they linked to the following as well, it's the wife's webpage on January 28th 2009 detailing a shooting outing with the family.

Those pictures on her wedding page indicate to me that they have a habit of doing less than safe things with guns. Mr Murphy is not a friend of those who do unsafe things.
Tragedy is tragedy but tragedy brought on by stupid is worse.

The pictures (and the young woman's commentary) on their wedding web page are pretty frightening -- talk about an accident waiting to happen!
