How do people get killed by so called unloaded guns? Have you ever thought that this was possible? It is possible and happens, sadly, on a fairly frequent basis, it is in the news from time to time, but it does not have to happen. People are quite often killed by ‘unloaded’ guns. The reoccurring theme is, “I thought it was unloaded”! Foolish and sad.
Now, it is inevitable, that once a gun is in the hands of someone that has never had any sort of firearm training, the first thing they seem overwhelmingly, inexplicably, inclined to do, is to put their finger on the trigger……

Excellent article. Could
Save many lives if we
Keep the mindset,there is
No such thing as an unloaded
Gun!!
Yes we certainly could! Thank you for mentioning the article.
In my opinion it should be 100% impossible to be killed or injured by an ‘unloaded’ firearm. In 43 years I have never had a negligent discharge and I certainly have not been surprised by a stray shell in a shotgun when going to clean it. It just doesn’t happen. I am a firm believer of the 4 rules of firearm safety….and if everyone learned those rules and used them always, I wouldn’t be making this comment!!
Think about…. a female politician said, “many times people are killed by unloaded guns” “unloaded”, not “thought to be unloaded” There are idiots making the gun laws that intelligent people need to abide by, how stupid is that?
Thank you for your input Bob. If everyone treated firearms as loaded at all times accidents would end, why would you do anything foolish with a ‘loaded firearm’, guns do not give fools a second chance. The main theme in every story were someone accidentally shoots someone is “I Thought It Was Unloaded, Oh My God”!! Now its to late, they did not have the proper mindset.
