There are no "accidental discharges"

Ten things to know about concealed carry permitholders, #6

"6. We do not believe in the concept of "accidental discharges". There are no accidental discharges only negligent discharges or intentional discharges. We take responsibility for our actions and have learned how to safely handle firearms. Any case you have ever heard of about a gun "going off" was the result of negligence on somebody's part. Our recognition of our responsibility and familiarity with firearms makes us among the safest firearms owners in America."

Negligent discharge/shooting 2007.09.28

Marshfield, MO — A wandering aggressive pit bull triggered a chain of events that led to the accidental shooting of an 18-year-old in Webster County.

The sheriff's department said the pit bull, named Kujo, has been captured and its owner might face charges for letting the animal run free. The dog ventured onto Susan Gohn's property around 12:45 p.m. Friday, she said. The dog went after Gohn's 18-year-old brother Shane Gohn twice outside the home at Patterson Road, four miles northeast of Marshfield.

Susan Gohn said she beat the dog with a shovel, but the animal was not deterred. She had another brother obtain a rifle for her, and shouted for the brothers to get out of the way. When she fired at the dog, the bullet ricocheted off a concrete patio block, she said. Shane Gohn then approached her and informed her he was shot in the chest. "I thought he was joking. He didn't holler or anything," she said.

Shane Gohn was taken to St. John's Hospital and released Saturday, Susan said. Shane said he was "doing good" when interviewed Wednesday.

Negligent discharge/shooting 2007.09.27

A bystander who was wounded in a shootout following a July armed robbery was hit by a police officer, not by the robbery suspect, authorities said Friday.

Sean Moran, 36, better known as DJ Flare to hip-hop fans, "was struck by an officer's bullet that was discharged when they were attempting to shoot the suspect," said Deputy District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

San Mateo police initially reported that Moran had been shot by Adam Nicholas Ramirez, the robbery suspect. Ramirez, 43, of Hayward, was killed in the exchange of gunfire, which took place inside the Central County Mental Health Center on La Selva Street after a chase.

Moran, a former member of the seminal hip-hop group Invisibl Skratch Piklz, has been hailed for inventing the influential "flare scratch" technique, a staple of modern turntablism.
