    How do all of you guys KNOW that this was not an accident ?

    The article does not say anything about if he shot himself, or if it was a mate, or if the firearm maybe fell ?

    Either half the forum was there, and actually saw the event happening, or you guys are making a whole lot of assumptions... Just saying

    I seriously do not agree. Either the victim was climbing the fence with a loaded rifle (which he should not have been) or someone else had the loaded rifle while he was climbing the fence and pulled the trigger or knocked, bumped or dropped the rifle causing it to go off and shoot the victim. Sorry ebf but none of those things should have been able to occur. There is negligence here somewhere.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
