Moral of story - If someone tells you that a gun is not loaded, you better check for yourself to be sure. It's still your responsibility if you are the one handling the gun.

That’s what he was doing. He just did it poorly.

No one was hurt and I guarantee it won’t happen again, too bad every accidental discharge doesn’t end so good.

“I mean, it was my fault that I told him the gun was unloaded,” No such thing.

“a bullet struck Cossentine’s wife on the top of her thigh, hitting only skin and fatty tissue, as she sat in the passenger seat. Cossentine had the gun across his lap”
BS BS BS BULL SH!T
that aint what happened.
how do you end up with a rifle across you lap in an automobile? where did the rifle come from? the back seat? did he reach back, grab the rifle and wigle it into the front seat? If the auto was a pickup and the rifle in a rack, did he reach behind his head and remove the rifle from the rack while seated? next time you are behind the wheel of your car truck suv... try and imagine this scenario actually working. rifle in you lap, doors closed... where is the muzzle? where is the but? and where is the steering wheel?
It may have been an acident, but the story of how is total BS.
my 2 cents.

Remember that most basic rule of firearms safety: Only trained law enforcement officers and the military are qualified to handle firearms. You are not.

But remember, these people are trained to handle firearms, unlike the average citizen who should not be allowed to carry a firearm. (/sarc)
