One brother's wounds were fatal.

Stupid is as stupid does.

This sounds like an unfortunate act of stupidity that happened to take place at a poker game.

Guns and poker don't usually mix well.

Guns protect us. We should have guns at every game. If you disagree, you are against the Constitution. All gun owners are responsible gun owners. If he didn't have a gun, he would have found another way to kill someone anyway.

I am so glad someone wrote that, and that someone was you.

The problem, as I see it, is that poor Angel Vezquez didn't have his gun on him, and had to go get it after Manuel Morales opened fire on him.

In before glock/homegame.

In before lock.

...but not in before glock.

Get your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.

Yeah, WTF. My understanding of gun safety is that it's always real, it's always loaded, the safety is always off, and you DO NOT touch the trigger until ready to fire.

That was my very first thought upon looking at the picture.

Second thought was: "Hey, that's 2+2 on the screen in the background."

Third thought was: "I wonder if they make a left handed version of that gun, otherwise that guy is gonna get a casing across his line of vision when he shoots that thing."

I couldn't operate the camera left handed...

I'm left handed, but shoot right-handed, in your classic case of bats-left throws-right sort of sports upbringing caused by limited equipment. With the exception of the shell ejection, which has never been a problem, the glock is already pretty ambi-friendly, since it doesn't have a safety to get in the way.

While I don't suggest I'm displaying optimal gun safety in that photo, I'm pretty confident that I cleared the chamber moments before the photo was taken -- and my finger is simply to the left of the trigger.

CCL, he would have made just into the entryway.

So much confidence...just like in the movies.

With training and regular time put in at the range comes some level of confidence. Not to be confused with bravado.

carrying, he doesn't need to go out to the truck in the first place, no?

Sounds like a country song by Willie Nelson in the making!
