I don't guess he ever got the same sage advice I got as a child to treat every gun as if it were loaded and not to point it at anything you don't want to see dead.

Trust me, he did.
I think not!

Assuming the guy recovers enough to go back on active duty, would you want him covering your son's back? As in many cases we are judged not by the good we do, but by that one great lapse of judgment.

A.T.F. = Alcohol, Testosterone, and Firearms
Dave is being sarcastic, folks.
I'm hoping so.

Alcohol and guns don't mix.

So very, very true!
Here, Hold my beer...........
Why on God's green earth would you point it at your head?????? I'd bet my life on my firearms, But I am NOT going to point it at anyone or anything to prove the safety works!!!!! I feel bad for him, but that was just STUPID. I guess he's a fan of the Darwin Awards......Sorry I can't show more sympathy for his "mistake". THANK GOD HE DIDN'T SHOOT HER!!!!!!!!---AND, ...,AND.....another reason for anti-gun people to look down on responsible gun owners as a "trained-professional" pulled some act of ignorance such as this.......................

I feel really sorry for the poor girl who had to witness that. If I read the stories correctly she asked him to put the guns up and he did what he did to prove it was unloaded. She'll have visions of that for the rest of his life.
Honestly, my attitude towards him is pretty much loathing right now. I'm not going to go so far as to say he deserved it, but I will say if he can't control his liquor and act like a big boy, then there are consequences to pay. Better him than the girl or someone else.
I despise people who pull **** like that - you know that isn't the first time he whipped out his guns to show how cool he is. Or was...

Yep, I feel bad for the girl who has that image and experience seared into her memory. My question is how did someone so stupid get selected for and make it through SEAL training? I'd like to think our best and brightest are a little smarter than this.
