An Imperial man is dead after accidentally shooting himself in the head while teaching his girlfriend firearm safety.
According to Sheriff Oliver Boyer, deputies responded to 4307 Rock Valley Court in Imperial, Missouri on Friday for an accidental shooting. According to the investigation, 40-years-old James Looney was teaching his girlfriend firearm safety.
According to the witness, Looney would show the different safety mechanisms, put the gun to his head, and ask if the gun would go off. Looney apparently did this with two other weapons and varied safety mechanisms, before the last one went off.
Gun Nut Defined: they think guns make you safe against the bad guys. Then they turn right around and say vaccines are dangerous.
Hah, hah.
Hopefully this individual did not procreate. I know where my safety is and carry the worlds smallest double barrel shotgun under my habit. When I travel, I mail it ahead so I don’t have to dick around with the airline and TSA.
Rickem #16. That old saw is getting old. In all my 50+ years, I’ve never been in a position where I’ve needed any type of weapon. Not once.
trouble with guns is there is so little margin for error.
if the guy was playing around with say nunchucks, he would have a few bruises, nothing more.
#24–canuck==kinda funny==knives and nun-chucks are “always loaded and have no safety.”
#22–Sister==YOU LIE!!! Your lack of familiarity with guns is self evident. The derringer has only a passing resemblance to a shotgun. I assume you have done this for my ultimate bettertude? While forever ignorant with all things sister, I thank you nonetheless.
OK, this guy is stupid but is he any more stupid than the average handgun owner?
It is well-known and documented that bringing a handgun into the home INCREASES the chance that somebody in your house will get shot. (duh!)

Yet, these dullard gun owners buy them anyway.
Uh Bobbo, just the fact that it shoots .410 shells and has a much tighter shot pattern than the Taurus Judge, which is also a much larger hand gun – makes this the gun of choice when you absolutely, positively, have to drop a perp in his tracks.
The pussies above would change their tune if they were the victim of a home invasion. The rules are simple – keep the booger hook off the bang switch until you are clear to fire.
Livin’ scared is a hell of a way to live. Watch out behind you…..
#27–Sister==you got me there. But your link is to a hand gun that is called a derringer, not to a shotgun that is most often defined as a shoulder weapon. I don’t think what size shell it uses, or what other guns can use the same shell, defines the weapon.
I wouldn’t change my mind about the safety of weapons because of what happened to “me.” Reality is larger than my personal experience–just as yours is?
#27 & 29,
Bobbo and Sister Mary Hand Grenade.
When we have to bicker about whether a firearm is actually a shotgun or a derringer I think we might have lost our perspective.
Sister, I am much more concerned about you carrying something akin to your name.
Peace out.
#27 I’d rather have a Taurus Judge. It takes .410 shotgun shells and .45 caliber revolver cartridges.
“You know, I would find this funny (OK it is), but its just another dig against responsible gun owners.”
How do you figure this is a dig against responsible gun owners; unless you are suggesting this is how responsible gun owners do act.
It is nothing more than dark humor at the expense of a really stupid and drunk man who should have known better. In the end, his gun safety lesson, while all wrong, concluded with a very important point.
All I can say is: What a looney that guy was…
What a strange coincidence; I was just reading about gun safety last night.
And people still claim that Darwin was wrong…
