"Man hunting geese in New Jersey accidentally kills himself: police"

 

(Reuters) - A man hunting geese with his father in New Jersey shot and killed himself in what police said Sunday appeared to be an accident.

 

Police in West Windsor Township, about 40 miles northeast of Philadelphia, said the 45-year-old victim and his father were properly licensed to hunt the birds.

 

Investigators said it appears the victim died from a single gunshot wound to the head and neck from his own firearm on Saturday afternoon.

 

"Although incredibly tragic, it is believed that the incident was solely an accident," police said in a statement.

 

The pair, who were the only members of the hunting party, had Canada geese decoys spread out around the wooded area where they were looking for the birds, a news release said.

 

The identity of the victim has not been released.

At his own hand, with his own gun.

Unintentionally.  Regardless of whether it was due to being careless or not, there is now a family that just lost somebody unexpectedly.  You're a moderator on this site.  That means you should understand that making jokes about the unintentional death of a human being, caused by firearms, reflects poorly on all of us as firearm enthusiasts.

Take it up with Troy or Maks.  I was not making a joke at all, merely making an analogy.  I didn't beat the guy up because he did something stupid, I didn't brow beat his actions, negligence, poor firearms handling, or anything of the sort though ALL of those are reasonable accusations to make.

 

What harms the firearms community is being incensed at nothing and having no balls to confront idiots.  That's EXACTLY what the other side does.

Goose hunting. Leaned rifle on tree. Waiting for geese. Then went to grab it and. Well you can figure it out. This is from good sources. Always keep safety on until youre aimed at your target.

Who hunts Geese with a Rifle?

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
