I believe the news said he was charged with illegal possession of an illegal firearm. Since it was in the home, the penalties are not as bad as if he was carrying it in the streets. of course, he won't get it back.

Not that it's entirely relevant, but was this a legal handgun? I didn't catch that fact at all. Just curious.

don't touch, run, tell

I can sort of understand playing with a gun but after a while it get's boring because you'd rather shoot than play with it. When "playing", please, keep the ammo separate from the gun. Damn shame, I wonder what .357 mag was it, they are fun to shoot. And, it really should be unloaded and locked in the home. Now, don't carry it outside kiddys.

a .357 is a huge fing gun. what the hell did he have it for? and yeah, the .357 wouldn't just "hit his head" it would blow it off.

it's terrible and a tragedy to be sure, but i wonder what possesses people to play around with handguns when they're drunk (or even play around with them when they're sober)? to me, it's like asking for trouble.

My condolences to their entire family. I can't imagine what that family is going thru now. Bad enough when a family member dies but his has to be devastating. I wasn't kidding above: IMO, that guy should be on a suicide watch.

oh, he meant to shoot out the window, where he could have hit someone he didn't know. That's cool.

What I meant to say amidst my tears was: a HUMAN life was lost...etc

Before the stupidity begins, let's remember that a HUMAN life (yes, we know: a dirty messican, probably ilegal,right?!) Anyhoo geniuses...a man lost a life, a mother lost a son and it's tragic.

Unbelievable. If I were the police, I'd have that guy on a suicide watch.
