Earlier this month, a 12-year-old boy shot his father in the head and killed him while they were out shooting prairie dogs near Seligman, AZ - not far from my stomping grounds. It's a sobering and realistic reminder that safety is a conscious act, just like we teach in our training courses. It also sounds like that boy was riding in the back of the truck and shooting out of it, which is not just unsafe but also illegal.
Please remember to educate kids and every other shooter around you about the firearm safety rules, as well as the laws regarding shooting and hunting.
