man too many of these incidents. I would be terrified at the thought of even holding a live gun (safety off) it might point in the wrong direction.
I've used rifles before in boy scouts, but a pistol seems more daunting, because you only have one hand and it is harder to aim. It would suck if you dropped it and shot yourself.

I myself would probably be ok, but I would be very careful and watch what I am doing to make sure I do not accidentally shoot. (I heard that even by dropping it on the floor it can actually shoot something X.x)
Yeah, some guns are so sensitive that the tiniest tap can make it go apeshit x.x
Another thing is that when you actually shoot, the detonation causes the gun to move so if you don't hold it hard enough you can accidentally shoot something else or hurt  yourself. Plus I would hate being close to someone shooting due to the noise x.x

Don't know why I would know this, but I think someone took a video of a gun firing using a super-high-speed camera. It showed that the gun jumps after the shot, so it doesn't affect accuracy at all.[/offtopic]

Ah, right, if it jumps afterward I guess that might be right. Maybe it could be bad if the person is scared then accidentally shoot again .

Sounds almost like what happened at Columbine High school.

I live within walking distance of there. I remember everyone around here was in a panic for like a month and a half afterwards

Yeah I remember this was discussed for weeks in news and there were some references to the massacre the years after. I think this was one of the first case of teen going in a rage against bullies in a school and killing plenty of people, and it kinda made some people wake up about if something should be done to reduce bullying and harrassment in schools.

Wow... this is a reminder of how their are so many distraught people in the world. He felt life was so terrible that he had to die, and he did. It's very lucky that no one else was hurt.

Why does the example link on http://omniurl.tk/ have to link here? It's a depressing topic :(
