so my stupid roommate was cleaning a gun the other day and it went off and traveled through our wall, narrowly missing my head before going through another wall and missing my other friend by a couple feet while he was playing video games. the week before I mentioned to him that guns are more likely to kill a family member or a friend than an intruder, that would have been kinda funny if he shot me. well, not for me at least. should I try and shoot him as payback?




I was sleeping on the brown pillow, if my gf had been next to me she would be dead.

guns are bad and people who own them are dumb

I'm against getting a gun or having a gun in my house because I'm impulsive and struggle with depression so that would give me an easy way to blow my brains out.

your roommate is a loving idiot. the reason gun control is a good idea is because people like your roommate are too stupid to handle the responsibility of owning a gun without putting other lives in danger.

Step one of cleaning a gun is to clear it to make sure that it's empty. In fact, step one of touching a gun at all is to check to make sure that it's not loaded.

He was really shook up and was crying and shaking so I figured that was punishment enough to know he almost killed his friend. He's not allowed to clean them in the house anymore. I was moving out when my lease is up after the summer anyway so until then I'm kinda stuck.

I blamed both the gun and my stupid friend for him almost shooting me, I think that's pretty fair. One can't work without the other.

Maybe he could keep his gun at a local range or gun club instead of some place you might be located?

Also, is he a professional drug dealer? Because why the hell else would you carry a loaded weapon or be storing your ammo with the gun so that exactly this poo poo could happen?

As a gun-haver, I am on the fence about this. They don't need to be cleaned all the time unless you're in the desert or a jungle, but no cleaning in the house at all might be too strict.

Having said that, if he's keeping it in the house at all, it should be a rule that it be unloaded at all times. In a hypothetical rapist is coming through the window situation, the half second it takes to load the pistol isn't going to make or break anything considering that he's going to have to run to dig it out of wherever it is.

Libertarian Gun-havers are always like "If it's not loaded, what's the point of having it?", as if it's some big hassle to pull the slide back. Literally the only case where that half second might make a difference is if a gun-having rapist is already through the door in your living-room with a gun pointed at you and your gun is already in your lap because you've been stroking it all night.

Pretty sure he had been to a range with our other friend he almost shot either that day or a few days prior, hence it being loaded and needing cleaning?

despite what the LieBral mediurrr wants you to believe, accidental discharges are exceedingly rare compared to the number of guns being cleaned. per capita, if you will

Sue him, i am not joking. Do as much damage to his purse or his freetime as you can. That could save lifes in the future. This guy is so stupid, he is a danger for everyone around him and the sooner you start dropping the law on him the sooner he will learn. Talk to a lawyer, tell him what happened and do this as fast as possible or it will be hard to show the judge that you are really serious about it and not just trying to grab money.

Sue him anyways. Kick his rear end out. Seriously, I wouldn't let this person stay in the same place as me. Uses "libtard" unironically and accidentally shoots off guns? Yeah pretty much human garbage.

So your saying he either: One, brought a loaded weapon from the range into your home or, two, he loaded the weapon prior to cleaning it and forgot.

I think I can make a sure bet here this wasn't and accidental discharge while he was cleaning it. He polished the outside, and so proud he was of his work that he cocked it back to dry fire it without ever realizing he never removed the mag. That's why the bullet went through several walls: He was sitting down, holding the weapon straight out from him.

That would make it more of, "I'm a loving idiot who should not own a firearm," than "The pistol accidentally discharged while I was cleaning it loaded." Occam's razor applies here.

He's your longtime friend? Ok. Tell him he can't keep a weapon in the house unless he gets firearms training. Until then he either gives it to someone he can trust to hold onto it or to you. I would demand this, as the bare minimum, for having created such a dangerous situation in your home; the one place where there is supposed to be safety.

Trust me on this, have him sign up for a class and make sure he goes. When it comes to guns, you do not learn through trial and error. The next "accident" could get somebody killed, or him in jail.

E: Tell me what model pistol it was, so I can tell you with 100% certainty that his story is bullshit.
