Michael Bradley Rouse and Randall Thomas Lewis
Local news reports
The Lenoir County Sheriff's Office says the accidental discharge of a gun has left one man dead and another charged.
Deputies arrived on scene and found a male victim dead from a gunshot wound.
The victim has been identified as 20-year-old Randall Thomas Lewis. Deputies say he died of an apparent gunshot wound to the head.
Sheriffs' detectives say the investigation and determined that Lewis and 19-year-old Michael Bradley Rouse were engaged in horseplay while Rouse held a semi-automatic handgun. Rouse reportedly pointed the handgun at the victim believing the gun had the safety engaged. The gun was then fired and a bullet struck Lewis.
Rouse was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter, felony possession of marijuana, maintaining a dwelling for the use or sale of controlled substances and possession of a firearm by felon. He was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
Now that's the way to ensure that you'll be held accountable for misusing your gun, being a drug dealer.
I suppose the description of the incident was a bit better this time. "The gun was then fired and a bullet struck Lewis." That's definitely better than " the gun then went off."
"Rouse was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter, felony possession of marijuana, maintaining a dwelling for the use or sale of controlled substances and possession of a firearm by felon. He was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia."
ReplyDeleteOr be a felon.
The site coward liar wants to eliminate drug crimes; and has stated that drinking while using guns is OK. If it's OK to use alcohol and drugs while using a gun, why cite drug and alcohol use as some negative factor in gun incidents?
ReplyDeleteActually I put in the whole paragraph with the intent of showing he was a felon, as my comment below the cite illustrates.
DeleteI don't believe I've ever heard Greg say it was ok to use firearms while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Though from your comment I think you might have a different definition of the word "use"
My definition of use is either the act of firing or carrying. In Minnesota, a permit holder can be charged with carrying while intoxicated with the limit being half of what is required to be charged with DUI. And, being convicted with such a crime could be used as grounds to have your carry permit either suspended or revoked.
Legalization of recreational chemicals is becoming a fact of life, with two states (so far) having legalized marijuana. But, just as with alcohol, any of these chemicals affect your decision making skills.
Your comment seems to suggest that the mere presence of a firearm in a home is your definition of use. Am I correct?
Mike and others have already discussed what the lying criminal said about using guns while using alcohol. You must be lying, or just as stupid as the site cowardly liar. Since you have lied to me before, I expect you are lying again. Your last sentence proves you are a lying scum bag.
DeleteAnonymous, lighten up will ya. ss doesn't deserve that much hostility.
Deletess, I like that Minnesota law about half the legal limit of alcohol. What does that break down to, about one or two beers? How do you deal with that yourself?
He claims Greg did not say guns and alcohol can be mixed, the uses a typical gun loon twisting of the word "use" to agree with what Greg said. Sorry, just another gun loon liar.
Delete"How do you deal with that yourself?"
DeleteI cant say I've ever done the math on how many drinks I'd be allowed to have. This is because I am what is politely called a cheap date. So when I carry, I don't drink at all. I also don't drink when I'm riding my motorcycle.
The .04 standard is also the limit for commercial truck drivers in the US. Also, the blood alcohol content standards are only there to provide standards of evidence for law enforcement.
If you are stopped and you blow a .07 in a car for instance, you can still be arrested and charged.
"He claims Greg did not say guns and alcohol can be mixed,"
DeleteAnon, Please try rereading my post. I'm just using my recollection of my readings of Greg's posts. There have been times I've disagreed with Greg's posts, and when I do, I say so. But disagreeing with someone doesn't make one or the other a liar.
Even Mike has pointed out my mistakes here, and I've acknowledged them.
Anonymous, whenever you want to prove that I said that, post the URL to the original comment. Otherwise, you're a fucking lying coward. I provide evidence for my claims. You should do the same.
DeleteBut what you'll do is whine about how you don't have to provide proof. You call people cowards, but lack the courage to stand by your own words.
Instead of using a recollection, try reading what he wrote.
DeleteThere goes the site lying coward with his URL crap again. Your words are there for all to read and your cowardly URL excuse only makes me laugh, and proves me correct. Thanks.
Delete"Instead of using a recollection, try reading what he wrote."
DeleteGreg didn't mention it at all in this post, so please supply a cite. You have asked that from me in the past when I've forgotten.
SS:
Delete"I don't believe I've ever heard Greg say it was ok to use firearms while under the influence of drugs or alcohol."
If you make a statement like that you should know what you are talking about, but reading this site gun loons rarely know what they are talking about. On you to find out what you are talking about instead of repeating Greg's cowardly crap about URL's.
ss, thanks for your response to "How do you deal with that yourself?" It doesn't really tell us much though. Do you sometimes go out for a few and leave the gun at home? Do you drink at home and lock up the guns first? Wouldn't that create a dilemma for the vigilant gun owner who must be prepared for a problem at any time?
DeleteWhen I asked Greg these kinds of questions he clammed up crying something about anonymity and privacy or some other bullshit. It's no wonder some of the commenters are so hostile with him. How about you, you wanna be a bit more forthcoming?
"Do you sometimes go out for a few and leave the gun at home? Do you drink at home and lock up the guns first? Wouldn't that create a dilemma for the vigilant gun owner who must be prepared for a problem at any time?"
DeleteI tend not to go to bars often, and when I do, I don't drink. And yes, when I drink at home I put it away.
Mikeb, I've answered those questions before. I don't drink out in public unless I've left my firearms at home. I'm not fond of paying the price for alcohol in restaurants, especially when what's on offer usually isn't all that good. At home, when I drink, my guns are put away. But I don't drink so much that I forget combinations or where my keys are located, so that's a moot point.
DeleteNow you have made two opposing statements: You said it's OK for you to drink while you use your gun, and now you say you don't drink and use your gun. Which is it? Pick one.
DeleteAnon, who are you referring to?
DeleteWOW, that IQ is showing. I know the military takes the dummies in society and trains them to kill without thinking. You are a perfect candidate, no wonder you are in the military.
DeleteNeither of you guys have explained how you deal with the dilemma of drinking at home, even in moderation, having your guns put away and the possibility of something bad happening. Wouldn't you be concerned that your reflexes and coordination and thinking might be impaired just a bit? Doesn't that contradict all the pro-gun talk about being prepared and protecting the family and all that other justification talk?
DeleteIt seems to me if being armed to protect against a possible home invasion of some other unforeseen circumstance is so important, you'd have to go ALL the way and REALLY be prepared ALL the time. Unless, of course, you've been exaggerating all along about why it's so important to be armed.
Anon, in this case you made the first comment claiming that Greg was ok with people using alcohol or drugs while using a gun.
ReplyDelete"If you make a statement like that you should know what you are talking about,"
"On you to find out what you are talking about"
So I think your last comment would actually apply more to you. Entirely up to you, I'm not going to pursue it anymore because it isn't productive to this debate. Plus I'm at a loss as to how I could prove that Greg didn't say something.
If you have any suggestions on how I could do that to your suggestion, please enlighten me.
Another bullshit liar. He did say it and you won't even go read it. Are all military people scum lying cowards like you?
