    My lawncare guy disappeared for 4 months. Turns out his gun discharged while he was driving and shot him in the leg. Guns are simply too unpredictable to not be treated with all respect due to such a weapon.

      Guns are dangerous, but they aren’t unpredictable. They’re simple machines. If that gun was secured safely and properly that would have been impossible.

      I don’t want to accuse your lawncare guy of waving his firearm around in his vehicle in an unsafe manner, but he was doing that, or else he wouldn’t have shot himself in the leg.
