Fun With Guns: North Carolina Roulette Edition
I have come to believe that whoever said that more guns make us all safer has never been to a gun show or a firing range. Hellfire, people are always getting accidentally shot there. This week there was one in Idaho, but the best one was in North Carolina.
There is a guy name William Daniel Glosson went to a gun show in North Carolina, where he purchased two guns.
Glosson, who has a concealed-carry permit, handed one of the unloaded guns to Lasonya Judd, who was sitting in the back seat, and he also handed her a loaded gun he already had in the truck. As Judd was looking at the guns, she accidentally fired one, and the bullet struck Alyssa Lewis Glosson, 29, in the back of the head while she was sitting in the truck’s passenger seat.
Alyssa Lewis Glosson is the wife of William Daniel Glosson.
It appeared to the police that the bullet struck the head rest first so it didn’t kill her, but it probably pissed her off real good. And more than likely raised some questions about the accidentalness of the whole deal.
The shooting on Saturday is the second accidental shooting at the same gun show in the last three years. In 2013, a 12-gauge shotgun discharged while its owner removed it from its case at a security checkpoint at the entrance to the show, according to previous reports.
Two people were shot in the incident—one in the hand and the other in the right torso.
Harrison said hopefully a lesson can come from the incident.
“Don’t be handling a loaded firearm unless you know what you’re doing,” he said.
Either that’s the unluckiest gun show on the planet or Lasonya knew exactly what she was doing.
“Don’t be handling a loaded firearm unless you know what you’re doing,” he said.
Hell, I never would have thought of that. They sure don’t make sure you know that at the gun show before they hand one over or sell you one. A bunch of states now will let you carry concealed without anybody wondering out loud if you know that little bitty suggestion. And plenty of toddlers pick up guns without being asked if they know it.
1Of the three people in the story, husband, wife, and “friend” in the backseat, I think the one person not handling the guns, the wife, had better be the most careful from here on out.
2I am aware of a woman who is legally blind (she cannot identify her husband of 28 years from five feet) is clinically depressed.
She has a concealed weapon carry permit, and she carries.
3Her folks too stoopid to spell lasagna?
4Oh, platy, I love you.
5If the Cheetoh-faced Ferret-wearing Shitgibbon Cocksplat and his white supremacist pals have their way, there won’t be any need for any kind of permit. You want a gun? Just walk into a store and buy one. The NRA/ gun manufacturers love their new boyfriend.
6Call me any combination of suspicious and conspiracy theorist that you like, but one married guy takes his wife and another woman to a gun show, and in so doing, his wife gets shot in the head by the other woman? Hmmmmm?
7Accidental? When did that become the new euphemism for st00pid? Or, are guns the new AI (artificial intelligence) taking out one wingnut at a time? Shot by their dogs, shot by their friends, yet none of them are ready to admit they were shot by a gun, a mishandled gun.
8I don’t know, this guy doesn’t sound like the catch of they year, if you know what I mean, and I think that you do. might want to check out his life insurance policy, see who the beneficiary is. and lasagna might want to take better aim, when she “accidentally” fires the gun the next time.
9Might be a good idea if old Billy Dan sleeps in the garage with his dogs till the wife calms down.
10Great. Now I gotta install bulletproof headrests in the pickup.
11For way too many people, there is a low, low bar on IQ.
12For those here who know alot about guns , please correct me if the following is wrong: A loaded gun is the simplest of devices to activate — just pull the trigger.
Am I right? No combination of levers and switches, no button-pushing sequence or dial-in codes — just pull the damn trigger. Right?
I do believe these people aren’t safe around a common table lamp. And there were three accidents in this story, two women and one man, all accidents of nature. Personally, I do not feel safer.
13JAKvirginia, one of the women was an accident of nature only in that she married that man.
14No offense, ladies, but I’ll bet the little Mrs really did have a headache that night. 🙂
15JAK VA. Most firearms are equipped with a safety, either l small lever or button that has to be moved in order to fire the weapon. Most responsible user don’t have a loaded weapon while in transit. One should never touch the trigger until the target is in the sights and you are sure you are ready to fire.
16The only loaded weapon kept at home is 12 gauge pump shotgun. Do not keep a shell in the chamber. Operating the slide mechanism at the right moment creates a very distinct sound. The Lads of South Park would call it a brown note. The sound will cause most evil doers within a hundred yards to have a spontaneous bowel movement and reverse direction.
Negligent discharge should be a crime and a punishable offense.
17@Russ #17- I’d agree except for things like pure accidents like that which caused the death of Steven Fromholtz.
