Muskogee man dies after playing with gun he thought was unloaded

Han Howard, a former smoke shop employee who lived in Muskogee but was from Oktaha, died Thursday night after a gun he was playing with went off, according to two sources in the Muskogee Police Department.

The sources, who asked to not be identified by name, said Howard had been on a date, and as the evening was winding down, he started playing with a revolver. He apparently opened the revolver and emptied out the bullets, but one bullet stayed in, without his knowledge, the police said.

Howard then allegedly began to play Russian Roulette with the pistol, which he thought he had emptied. On the third trigger pull, the bullet that had escaped his attention fired, mortally wounding him.

No funeral home or service have yet been announced.

No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame ‘cause Mama tried

The insurance company will want to know how they know he didn’t know when he isn’t able to say if he knew.

I know what you're saying.

A revolver with all the rounds except one removed, playing Russian Roulette, and it was an accident because he didn't know there was one round left in the weapon?

This is the police filing a, "please don't screw me out of the life insurance by saying it was deliberate" report. No accidental death benefit if it was deliberate and maybe no insurance at all if it was deliberate because there may be a suicide exclusion.

We had a sad incident in our community where a very well-liked police detective attempted to unload his semi-auto to clean it. Muscle memory had a brain-zap, and instead of pulling the magazine and racking the slide, he racked the slide and pulled the magazine. The gun was pointing at his stomach on the desk in front of him when he inadvertently pulled the trigger.

He died leaving a wife and two young children.

His funeral was one of the most beautiful I’ve attended, especially with the bagpipe formation.

ALL guns are loaded...

Whether they are or not.

to use rugers as an example i can see a genius such as this easily missing a round in a blackhawk, where one round at a time is emptied, ahhh crap nevermind this genius could miss emptying a round from a single shot...

Perhaps DJT should start a give-away program starting in San Francisco.

3. Never leave a loaded gun where a child can access it.

Never point a gun (loaded or “unloaded”) at anything you would not be willing to destroy.

Seems that he was willing to destroy his head.
