how do you "Accidentally" shoot a gun twice.

No gun magically fires itself. It requires human input, therefore not accidental.

The article says.. allegedly shot the Mossberg shotgun once into the bed and floor

So i think he only shot it once, through the bed and floor.

What I don't understand is why the police "lectured" the guy about storing the gun, when in most states that's illegal.

what_now: What I don't understand is why the police "lectured" the guy about storing the gun, when in most states that's illegal.

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say here, but you're probably wrong, whatever it is.

"Safe storage" laws a pretty rare.

I'm also not aware of any state requiring you to prevent other adults from accessing a gun.

I'm a cowboy!

/Thinking of that 90210 episode.

What was this frat-boy doing looking under people's beds. I'm guessing he entered the room with the intent to rob them dry.

Police say they also lectured the gun's owner about proper storage


That is far too amusing to me for some reason

It went through the bed and floor.
One shot.
Ka-Blam.

/And, from the comments:
Don't you hate when you leave your loaded 12-gauge shotgun lying around and 20-year-old Alex Grayson destroys your bed with it?

//yes

The police "lecturing" you is illegal in most states?

Don't touch guns when you're intoxicated, you're asking for trouble.

I had a similar incident at one of my house parties (Navy). Dumbass pulls down my 12ga and fires it "accidentally". Good thing I'm smart enough to keep the first shot loaded with a blank.

/If you think the "click-clack" sound is a good home invasion deterrent, imagine how well popping off a round will work. Hence, the blank

I have a loaded 12 gauge next to my bed and just got done playing a game of beerpong so I am getting a kick out of these comments.

/Don't play with my "toys" when I have been drinking.
//Don't hang out with idiots.

$50 says the punk who fired the gun has no experience with firearms.
Otherwise, he probably would have been aware of the first rule of firearm safety.

1. The gun is ALWAYS loaded.
2. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
3. Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
4. Be certain of your target and what is beyond it.

I believe there's also a rule about not digging through other people's shiat. If some fool had gone into my closet and farked with my Mossberg, I would've beat the living tar out of the farker and thrown him down the stairs.

Q: "Is this gun loaded?"

A: "Not as much as you are, son."

Excellent idea! Consider it "appropriated."

Bed's dead, baby!

I bet he shat his drawers. Ever fire off a gun inside a house when you didn't expect to? I have. It was a 22 and it was freaking LOUD! I can't imagine how scared his drunk ass was when the 12 gauge went off. Hehehehehehehe. Moran.

holy crap i go to CU.

and no, i've never heard of Alex Grayson. what a retard.

He hates the mattress!

Stay away from the mattress!

Actually no. One shot or two, the fact remains there was nothing 'accidental' about it.

Do you check it frequently? What if, at a previous party, another dumbass swapped the round and put it back?

Great. "Loaded College House Party Beer Pong Champs" was going to be the name of my band. Thanks a lot.

SouthernManDunWrong: Heard before he shot, "Hey, ya'll! Watch this!"

No, it was "Cool! Dude, hold my beer a sec."

I was hoping he'd shot his foot off, but oh well.

The sound of a cartridge being chambered in a pump gun can be intimidating to an intruder... IF the intruder hears it clearly and doesn't confuse it with some other sound...
Firing off a blank round is a good idea only if you are certain that the same guy who wasn't scared off by the sound of the pump will be scared off by a big firey BOOM. The bad guy may just say, "Ha! He missed!" and shoot back. Only you can bet that if the bad guy has a gun, none of his rounds are blanks.

Have a very bright flashlight mounted to the end of the gun. Chamber the cartridge before you exit your bedroom.
Find the intruder. Attempt to determine if there's more than one. Shine your flashlight into his eyes. Attempt to identify the intruder.
In your meanest possible voice, shout, "LIE DOWN ON THE farkING FLOOR NOW! GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR! GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR!"
If the intruder makes any movement that could be threatening, shoot. If intruder is not immediately incapacitated, shoot again.

Wow, Boulder's making Fark quite a bit recently. Kid on LSD playing in traffic, drunk girl crashing into Arby's, another story the same day as the Arby's one that I can't remember...

Looks like we're well on our way to reclaiming our title as "Best Party School" in the nation.

Fark em up, Fark em up, GO CU!

Beer pong is clearly one of the greatest threats to our young people. Someone should pass a law against this barbaric practice.

This comment made me lol.

Been through a similar situation,

When I was about 25 my buddies and I used to go out clubbing and picking up girls. One night we brought back these three girls and they happened to see pictures of us doing various silly things like skydiving, rappeling off the New River Gorge Bridge and so on.

One of the girls asked "What else do you do?" and we told her that we like to do this and that and "go shooting."

Her reply, "wow, do you have guns here?"

Us (Trying to get laid), "Yeah", and proceeded to pull out handguns and a single shotgun. After showing them off (UNLOADED), We had a coffee table full of bullets, shells and beer cans. Post showing off we proceeded to put them away (Including reloading them) . Handguns first and then my room mate loaded his shotgun, walked past me, pulled the trigger to make sure the safety was on and "POP" (only loud).

I sat there for a second then said after looking at everyone, "Cool" (Yeah I know, NOT COOL). I then looked at the girls and said, "I think you three better get the FARK out of here, NOW!"

Needless to say they left in a hurry and we bailed out of our upper floor apartment house (Attic above us, THANK GOD!!!) to get away from any reporting that may be done by our downstairs neighbors.

We repaired the oak door and ceiling (sp?) that the slug went through. The next day. On Monday we were surprised by the landlord who walked into the apartment and pretty much looked directly at where the shot went though (HOW THE FARK DID HE KNOW THE EXACT SPOT, Trust me it could not be seen). He left without saying anything and without giving us any indication that he knew anything.

Now that we are somewhat older, slightly smarter (and married) we refer to anything that we get away with as "IT'S ALL BULLETS AND BEER CANS."

Anybody not present that night just gives us that confused dog look and we refuse to explain.

/The more you know...

Accident? No.

Just like cars. Cars don't have accidents. They crash. And they crash because somebody was being an idiot.

CBFLATLINE: pulled the trigger to make sure the safety was on and

WTF

That's like driving your car into a brick wall to make sure the airbags are enabled, only stupider.

Fark em up, Fark em up, GO CU!

Kinda strange out here.

Oddly enough, I'm here for grad school. And my original school did that GO CU chant first.

FTA--no one was injured.

Well...that's that, I guess.

This must have happened outside the city limits of Boulder, and the Colorado State Police must've handled the investigation.

First, the Boulder police department probably wouldn't have showed up, and if they did they would have joined the party and ate a bunch of Doritos because they are always high.

Second, in Boulder it is legal to own a gun because of the Second Amendment but it is illegal to ever do anything with it. Ordinance 1992.24.6.14A, Chapter XX1, Section 15, Paragraph 2.5(a), Clauses 22 states:

(a) The owning of firearms is legal in the City of Boulder, although they are the violent murderous tools of oppression used by elitist capitalist Fascist pig-headed brutes to inflict poverty on the masses, because state law and the Second Amendment regrettably guarantees this right.

(b) However, a human being may not load, carry, fire, clean, display, touch, look at, or talk about their firearms or any other human being's firearms.

(c) A human being is allowed to purchase, sell, transport, and store firearms. The firearm must be locked inside a strongbox with the key thrown away at all times.

(d) Special dispensation to use firearms is granted to human beings not of the species Homo sapiens, such as but not limited to bears, mountain lions, squirrels, foxes, and bison, for use in attacking the evil sport hunters who saddistically massacre them every year.


So you see, even if we hypothetically assume the Boulder police would have actually responded and figured out who the owner was before getting high again, they would have arrested him for violation of the firearms ordinance.

Agreed, geniusiknowit, Dumb move.

However we are now older and the guy has his masters and is usually the voice of reason (We are in our 40's now).

Not smart but still a funny anecdote.

really?
haven't we all been there before?

Well except for everyone on the internet now, oh and as your ex land lord I am very much getting a kick out of your reply. I knew what'd happened because I had installed spycams throughout the place to watch for uhm, intruders...yes, intruders.

Try a Colt .45 inside a pickup. That makes an extreme impression.
