The boy was dead, shot in the head by his buddy. The other man had thought his rifle was unloaded when his young friend had stood over him and placed his thumb playfully over the muzzle. “Pull the trigger. I bet it’s not loaded.” He pulled the trigger. The loaded rifle fired and set a bullet tearing up through the head of his best friend. Both had violated the cardinal rule: “Don’t point a weapon at anything you don’t intend to shoot.”
