If I read the article correctly, the gunowner brought the weapon out and handed it to a friend without verifying it was unloaded. The 'friend' cocked it, didn't see a round and pulled the trigger while it was pointed at his 'friend' and shot him in the back killing him. So, as near as I can tell, the gunowner deserved to be shot and the 'friend' deserves to live with that for the rest of his life. Just my opinion after reading the article. I don't know how he was brought up but I was brought up to ALWAYS make sure a firearm is unloaded before handing it to anyone. I was also brought up to never point a firearm at anything I wasn't willing to shoot and kill...PERIOD. Just my opinion based on the article.
