Accidental Shooting in North Dakota - No Charges

Local news reports

The Richland County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting that occurred Thursday afternoon on a farmstead near Barney, N.D. The shooting was found to be accidental, a release from the sheriff’s office states.

At approximately 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11, Arnulfo Junior Lopez, rural Colfax, was showing George Standinger, 43, Plainview, Minn., a Longhorn .22 caliber pistol when it accidentally discharged. The bullet went into Standinger’s right leg and lodged in his ankle, the release states.


The victim was driven to St. Francis Healthcare Campus in Breckenridge, Minn., by private vehicle. His condition is unknown but is believed to be non-life-threatening.

Two idiots looking at a gun, saying to each other how cool it is. One ends up getting shot. And this incredibly common scene takes place in that most safe of all gun states, North Dakota.

You know, when something like this happens, it's not only the fault of the jerk who pointed the gun at someone and violated at least 2 more of the 4 Rules of Gun Safety.  It's also the other guys fault.

Let me put it to you like this?  Would you EVER let someone point a gun at you while his finger is on the trigger without saying something, slapping the gun away or just moving?  No.  Only another idiot would sit there and think, just like the one holding the gun, that it's not loaded.

In cases like this BOTH guys should be slapped with One Strike You're Out.

What's your opinion?  Please leave a comment.

  1. The victim deserves to lose gun rights? Are you insane? If you slap a hand with a gun in it, you are creating a risk that the trigger will get pulled. This article is one of the reasons that I see your goal as removing guns from all citizens.

    2. I don't associate with people that stupid. A stranger who does that is threatening my life.

  2. Sounds like you think Colin Goddard should lose his gun rights for being shot without saying something, slapping the gun away, or moving.
