Accidental AK discharge while hunting kills Grandson
Man this guy must be going through hell right about now, supposedly a branch activated the trigger of his AK-47, killing his grandson who was in front of him.

But I do have to ask, who hunts with an AK? Not that there's anything wrong with that but I can think of 100 other rifles that are 10 times more accurate.

Re: Accidental AK discharge while hunting kills Grandson
Not everyone feels they need a "specialized" firearm to do the job.

Careless is a huge understatement.
Terrible tragedy. Prayers sent.
Edit: The media often gets this wrong. It was probably an SKS....You can never have enough horsepower or ammunition.

Re: Accidental AK discharge while hunting kills Grandson
There are 2 ways a gun fires:
Intentionally or
Negligently.
There is NO SUCH THING as an accidental discharge.

Re: Accidental AK discharge while hunting kills Grandson
The first thing I thought was "Why the hell wasn't the safety on!?"

Re: Accidental AK discharge while hunting kills Grandson
lemme get this straight
A branch caught the trigger of his AK-47 hunting rifle... which was pointed DIRECTLY at the person in front of him... involuntary manslaughter minimum.The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

Re: Accidental AK discharge while hunting kills Grandson
Exactly what in hell was that rifle ready to go and no safety on for? This should read negligent discharge while hunting kills grandson. Further more what in the blue donkey hell was the muzzle doing pointed at his grandson. People when you're out hunting or just shooting please exercise total firearms safety!!!
When injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Re: Accidental AK discharge while hunting kills Grandson
Wasn't the Philadelphia SKS shooting originally reported as an AK also?
