Hi,
Yep, I'd like to see him reload that as fast as he did the other gun. I don't think Clint Eastwood could do it that fast.
Poor man can you picture how he must feel, right before the wedding that would be devastating.

Truly terrible. They better have him on suicide watch.
That has really gotta suck.

if somebody comes into your house. hide and call 911. let the pro do their job.

"I have a gun for my safety"
not the safety of others, that's for sure.
How many accidents will it take to realize that?
Maybe there were a lot of burglaries around the neighborhood or something. Some startled burglars don't give you time to call the police.

it's possible - and I'm not judging that poor man.
I just find ridiculous the thought of people having guns in their house, with kids running around. You never what can happen and to my knowledge, there are more people killed with gun accidents than from burglars.
I'd like to see some stats about that. I'll do some research when I have a minute,

I just read a couple of articles stating that the number of homicide and suicide is directly correlated with the number of gun owners.
but then you can't trust what you read in the media.
I'll do more research

The results may vary significantly by area though I'm thinking, which would of course water down a general figure, say, a figure based on the entire country.

Reminds me of that woman a few years back that legally carried a handgun with her wherever she went. She caused a huge stir because she refused to take it off and wore it EVERYWHERE. Picking her kids up at school, soccer practice, church, everywhere. She made national news because of it.
Couple of mornings ago my wife was reading CNN and said, "Hey you remember that lady that packed the gun around yada yada...?"
I said, "Yeah."
She said, "Well her husband just shot her and then shot himself."

I know this may sound insensitive, but I only have two words to contribute to this thread and they are,
natural selection.

While that's ultimately true, the sad thing is that unlike animals (as far as we know) we humans, either to our delight or sorrow, experience emotion. This results in much grief in the hearts of family and friends when even the dumbest/weakest succumb to the odds.
Lots of animals experience emotion, Dude.
On top of that, many can actually sense and respond to the emotions of humans.

All the more weight to my statement.

There's no doubt that the latter is true. I'm not sure it's been proven that the former statement is. But if so, like I said above, that just extends one's feeling of compassion even more broadly.
The one emotion that's easy to attribute to many animals is fear.
It helps to keep many of them alive.
Beyond that single emotion, the list of candidates narrows quite a bit, but still includes a few.

Yes, apparently they experience some of the emotions we do, only in a limited way.

LOL! I was reading the same thing.
But, a dog owner can tell you that they experience emotion. Dogs are fairly emotive.
Dogs are also good at picking up on the emotions of others.
Maybe they're reading body language. Maybe it's something to do with picking up electrical energy. IDK.
But they sometimes react to the emotions of their owners.

Oh definitely! Every dog I've ever owned was like that. Well almost every one. I've had two over the years that were in their own world.

Birds seem to show emotion as well.
I can't post the video at the moment, because I'm a work, but a cockatoo was stolen from his owner and was found two weeks later being sold on a street corner.
Once returned to his owner, she took a video of him hanging on her and making really sad sobbing noises. She said he had been like that for hours...

"an affective state of consciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or the like, is experienced, as distinguished from cognitive and volitional states of consciousness."
and that is just the #1 definition in one particular dictionary. There are several more, lol.
I know this may sound insensitive, but I only have two words to contribute to this thread and they are,

The 2 words I thought of were: "poor eyesight"
What I found interesting both of them were 62 so eyesight problems may have been a factor. I wonder what made them decide to marry so late on.

I hadn't thought of that Halo, you may be right about the eye sight problem. But then you have to wonder why he didn't call out to the 'intruder' first, he just went straight to shooting, no warning, no warning shot to scare the intruder away.
As to why they were marrying at that age, the article does not say. Perhaps they had just met up. Who knows what happened in their lives previously.

Did the photographer still get paid? That worries me...
