I'm sorry for your loss but there is no such thing as a minimal risk to life when you are using firearms, even in training. That's why there are so many safety procedures and in order to have sniper training you have to have high marksmanship scores which means that he would have already been trained in those procedures. The fact that there was still a round chambered clearly shows that he either didn't bother with or completely cocked up making sure that the rifle was unloaded. But even so, how bloody daft do you have to be to rest your chin on the end of the barrel, that's just common bloody sense...  noooo:

Sounds like Mr Darwin sir will be able to have another crack at the snake preacher as he has vowed to keep using them in his sermons....  noooo:

Quote
The church’s unique practice is inspired by biblical verse Mark 16:18 where Jesus says true believers will be able to ‘pick up snakes with their hands and when they drink deadly poison it will not hurt them at all’.

I'm going to hazard a guess that Mark was Mr Darwin sir's pen name back in the day...  rubschin:

Quote
Cody’s mother, Linda Coots, added: ‘We are a normal family, we love each other like normal families love each other. If a snake could bite you and never hurt you, it wouldn’t be a sign to the unbelievers.’

Is this the American version of normal for Norfolk?

Just goes to show that my faith in idiocy is well placed...
