yeah I saw that. Pretty sad.... Not sure why someone wouldn't check to make sure it wasn't loaded...

title should read: "be careful photographer - wedding photographer shot dead after he asked his subjects to point the loaded weapons at his head while photographing them"

and then I wouldn't have had to read the link to realize that this is totally irrelevant to me.

interesting story, though

Very sad story. From what I can see, the parents are definitely at fault. No one obviously cared to check the chamber before handing off the guns.

There's just no excuse to lose your head in front of your clients like that.

I love you. Rare to see any form of trolling on here, but awesome when it comes up.

If you can't use this story as a punchline what good is it? Seriously, did anyone need a refresher course on what guns do before reading this story other than this guy? Throw this guy onto the Darwin Awards nomination list and be done with it. Let him fight it out with that guy who tried to restore power to his house by taking a monkey wrench to the power transformer, during the rain.

What IS interesting about this story is that apparently it's routine for the bride and groom to pose with guns on their wedding day. That's kinda awesome. I mean, that it's in Sicily and all...

The whole story, I'm thinking pose with guns?? Love hate I guess..
sad story, I'd be more worried about the hip hop video..geez..

I ever shoot with gun's I'm checking each personally, the clips that may have been pulled out..and I guess each blank as well..I think I heard a story of a blank plastic case killing someone.

cheers

I thought the rule about not pointing guns at people unless you intend to actually shoot them was pretty basic, apparently not.
