One more time...
1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
2. Always keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target.
3. Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
These are just the first 3 rules of safe gun handling. I'd say he broke these 3 and a few more, to boot.

Dumbass.
He should have used the pencil.

I'm very saddened for his family. And I hesitate to post just because it's really a tragedy.
But I read the article. His family wants legislation to ban the sale of pen guns. Why is it that every time someone accidentally shoots himself with a gun...people immediately want legislation to ban guns? It's like proposing banning the sale of cars because they weave & drive off the road and kill their drunk driver. (SUV's excluded because we all know they do "kill" people...the headlines always say so...)

It would be safe to say that the fingers being held up by Zorn and friend represent their respective IQ's :)

The average IQ of Ohio just rose slightly.

""Steven had a career and his dreams all ahead of him," said Zorn's mother, Lisa McCoy-Horn. She said she wants lawmakers to outlaw pen guns,.."
Uh huh.... Naturally. He put it to his head and fired it, so naturally its the manufacturers fault.

I wonder how long it takes to perfect that vacant expression before you can be a rapper.
To: crghill
I'm sorry, but if you die doing something really stupid, people are going to laugh at you.
This goes back at least till the time of Icarus, and may or may not serve as a deterrent to others considering doing something fatally dumb. It's impossible to gather reliable statistics on this though.

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, one has to have a heart of stone not to laugh at this story.

Yep. $5 tax stamp.
Gemtech makes/sells one, as do a few other SOT manufacturers.
I never saw the appeal, though.

so to get one wouldn't you have to go thru the whole rigamarole of begging the ATF, FBI, local sheriff, fingerprinting, forms, abiding by state laws regarding class3 weapons.. etc, right?
and do we know if this was a legal pen gun or if it was black market?
