"No one was evacuated as the situation was considered a medical emergency. Kansas’ current laws state that gun owners can conceal and carry without any required training or a permit, making it easier for anyone to shoot themselves accidentally, anywhere and anytime."http://www.salon.com/2015/10/19/oh_my_god_i_just_shot_myself_i_just_got_my_conceal_and_carry

Florida, where we love the criminally insane, especially when they build firing ranges in their front yard
Oh Florida, where we can't wait to pave over paradise and the right for every idiot to own a shooting iron Trumps every other right like not getting killed by psychopaths using their Second Amendment rights.
So this absolutely batshit crazy gun nut--Joseph "Compensating for Small Cock" Carannate--after hammering a couple of bottles of cheap booze thought it a fine idea to build small gun target backed up by sand in his front yard, next to houses where other children play.
Obviously, the right of neighboring kids to live pales next to the right of an asshole to avoid driving drunk to a local firing range and instead just to bust off caps on his own property.
So, the ass wipe neighbor built the target to the most exacting standards by getting a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon By God Beer and get some gap toothed Confederate flag flying friends to help him slap it up. That way he could just step outside and blast off a few rounds, practicing for fighting off the Islamic fascist hordes 'cause real Americans don't take no shit from no hordes.
Also, who wants the hassle of driving to a gun range? With a home range you can just roll out of bed bleary eyed, pop a beer, and walk outside, and blast away. And Florida law, handcrafted by the National Rifle Association, makes it all legal.
Yay, smell the gunpowder and freedom!
Beause you know, what could possibly go wrong?

Fun for the Whole Family: Restaurant, bar, grill. and a 9 year old accidentally killing a shooting instructor with an Uzi.
Even if supports gun rights, one might question the wisdom of having a bar at a gun range. Alcohol and guns often mix badly. Since a bar exists to serve alcohol, we might see it as inappropriate at a gun range.
This particular gun range at the Last Stop in White Hills, AZ, offers a chance to shoot automatic weapons among all the fun stuff such as 6 different ice cold beers on tap, burgers, RV parking, and even a "Bullets and Burgers" special. Apparently, they even allow little bitty young girls to fire a powerful automatic weapon, an Uzi perhaps capable of firing 30 rounds per second.
Per freaking second!
One such little girl (pictured below), killed her instructor, the recoil proving too much for her to handle.
At least one expert found safety procedures at the Last Stop lacking:
My admiration for those who teach little children about gun rights holds second to no one. My defense of the Bill of Rights extends to right to owning a firearm, found in the Second Amendment. Nevertheless, stupid has no defense under the Constitution. Accordingly, the National Rifle Association machine gun in every hand stance goes too far and leads to countless tragedies.
It just seems civil societies should set some reasonable restrictions on gun ownership, use, and even practice. The average citizen ought to make do with a revolver or two for self defense and we ought to have some sort of competency test to own semi-automatic weapons such as an AR-15 or even more powerful weapons.
Daily, somewhere in this great country, some stupid head unintentionally kills someone. People continually kill others because they violate the cardinal rules of responsible gun ownership.
One: do not, under ANY circumstances, point a weapon at someone unless you intend to kill that person. If people would follow that rule, it will save lives. Who knows, that rule could save my life someday.
Second, always treat every weapon as loaded and able to kill or injure until you verify it as empty. Always verify the weapon as unloaded and has no round in the chamber. For an automatic, simply taking out the magazine might mean a round remains in the firing chamber. Break open the breach to verify it as empty and manually clear the breach if loaded.
Lastly, never leave a round in the firing chamber if either an automatic or revolver weapon. Guns go off even if they have a safety on,

Ronald Scott, a Phoenix-based firearms safety expert, said most shooting ranges have an age limit and strict safety rules when teaching children to shoot. He said instructors usually have their hands on guns when children are firing high-powered weapons.
"You can't give a 9-year-old an Uzi and expect her to control it," Scott said. http://www.newsday.com/news/nation/charles-vacca-arizona-shooting-instructor-accidentally- killed-by-9-year-old-girl-officials-say-1.9160517

Picture of little girl just before fatal shooting, the girl who will have
to live evermore with this tragic memory.

Voters Fire NRA Backed US Representative
Some days, you can find hope in headlines. Voters, dragging the Republican't party out of the 19th century into the 20th.
[BIG NEWS -- Rachel Maddow reports on last night's special election for Congress in Illinois:
"Robin Kelly made her support for gun reform a centerpiece of her campaign. She was running against someone who had long touted her A rating from the NRA. And the A rating from the NRA lost -- the F rating from the NRA won."]
[In the special election to replace Jesse Jackson, Jr. in Illinois’ 2nd congressional district, former state Rep. Robin Kelly, a supporter of a federal assault weapons ban, cruised to victory in the Democratic primary tonight over a field of candidates including former U.S. Representative Debbie Halvorson. While Kelly’s victory was not altogether unexpected, her total vote share (52 percent in a multi-candidate field) was surprisingly strong, and followed an expenditure of more than $2 million in the race by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, according to the New York Times.
Citing her opposition to gun safety reforms and past support from the National Rifle Association, Bloomberg spent heavily to damage Halvorson’s candidacy, funding TV ads singling her out for attack. In the final two weeks of the campaign, the New York mayor explicitly backed Kelly as his candidate, and his financial support likely helped boost the size of her victory.]

"I walked in to get a pizza and I got shot."
Florida, land of the free and heavily armed citizenry, do you think this spate of shootings will deter future visitors, especially from Europe where `such carnage is almost unheard of?
["There are arguments every day, but how many people pull out a gun? When you pull a gun out and shoot somebody, your life better be in danger," White said. "He was in my face and I pushed him. His life was not being threatened."
White said he got mad because his thin-crust vegetable pie was taking longer than the 10 minutes he was promised.
"Twenty minutes later, I'm like, 'Where's my pizza?' " White said.
White, who admitted he was tired and agitated, started talking about the service. That's when he said Jock "started chewing me out."
White said the gun came out quickly. A shot rang out. The two men wrestled for the gun before the second shot was fired.
White said he still has a bullet fragment in his back.
"I got lucky," he said. "To me, that stand your ground rule … people are twisting it. He's twisting it. I walked in to get a pizza and I got shot … I'm hoping the law prevails. We'll see."]

I Feel Safer Already
[Authorities in Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties have foiled what they believe would have been a mass shooting by a man who was about to be fired from his job, police sources tell ABC 7 News.
Law enforcement sources tell ABC 7's Brad Bell that the suspect, Neil Prescott, 28, was taken into custody in Crofton on Thursday night. According to officials, the man was facing termination from his job as a subcontractor for Pitney Bowes, the document, mailing and shipping company.
“I am a joker and I’m gonna load my guns and blow everybody up,” he allegedly said, according to documents.
He was also wearing a T-Shirt that said: "Guns don't kill people. I do," when authorities took him into custody. Prescott is being held for a psychiatric evaluation and charges are pending.]

Gun Control Should Mean at Least not Shooting Self in Buttocks
[23 year old doofus Todd Canady, who has a concealed carry permit, reaches for his wallet to pay at the local Walmart. He accidentally discharges his handgun into his buttocks. He also injures a woman and child behind him in line. When confronted by an off-duty police officer, he runs.
Now he’s in jail.]
Now he’s in jail.]
Well, that explains it: freakin' TX. Went to link so y'all don't have to.
One of 2 people wounded a 5 year old, collateral damage in the war of the NRA on common sense.
[DALLAS, July 24 (UPI) -- Dallas police said they arrested a man whose gun accidentally went off inside a Walmart store, injuring two other customers....
KDFW-TV, Dallas/Fort Worth, said Canady, who has a concealed-weapons permit, was reportedly reaching for his wallet in the checkout line but grabbed the pistol he was carrying instead. The gun went off, wounding Canady in the buttocks. The bullet then hit the floor and sent fragments into the other two victims.]

Al Qaeda Gets it and NRA Doesn't
Spare the Second Amendment crap argument. If one bothers to read it, you will see it says nothing about fully, automatic weapons, large capacity magazines which allow lunatics to inflict great harm on bystanders at a political rally, or 50 caliber sniper rifles capable of breaching an airplane cabin at long range.

In a new video message released on the internet Friday, American-born al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn calls on Muslims living in America to carry out deadly one-man terrorist acts using fully automatic weapons purchased at gun shows, and to target major institutions and public figures...
He urges Muslims to pursue attacks with whatever is available. "Let's take America as an example. America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms. You can go down to a gun show at the local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle, without a background check, and most likely without having to show an identification card. So what are you waiting for?"]
