I Hate Stories Like This


It could have been so easily prevented.

Husband Shoots Wife During Self Defense Drill

the incident happened when Arnold Morris and his wife Patricia Morris were role playing and re-enacting a home invasion.

She was the robber and he was the victim.

When Arnold Morris pulled a gun on his wife it accidentally went off.

Sorry, modern handguns do not accidentally go off. You have to pull the trigger. Don't know how old the gun was, though. It shouldn't have mattered anyway because you don't point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy. And if you are going to manipulate your gun in practice, make damn sure it is not loaded and lock the bullets away in another room; the exception being when you are at a range where that kind of practice is allowed and intended.

They make a device that fits into the empty chamber and barrel so it is obvious to all that the gun is not loaded and incapable of being loaded with the device in place. They also make plastic replicas of guns, called blue guns, for this kind of practice.
