A 24-year-old Gonzaga University student died after accidentally shooting himself in the head early Saturday morning at a campus apartment, according to an email from the university.
...
Witnesses told police people were drinking alcohol at the apartment, which is rented by [Colton] Marcantel and another person. Witnesses said Marcantel owns a firearm and had it in his hands when they were drinking. They said it was a semiautomatic pistol.
Marcantel was “manipulating the firearm and ejecting live rounds of ammunition, either by racking the slide or pushing them out of the magazine,” court records said.
Marcantel held the gun near his head at one point and discharged a round, striking him in the head, witnesses said. Marcantel fell and witnesses called 911.
If you're going to imbibe, lock your gun(s) away.
I could and would argue quite passionately that alcohol doesn't mix with anything.

Yes, indeed.

Guns, cars, chainsaws, sharp tools, hammers...
There's a pattern there.
Eck!
