A man from Independence Township, Michigan, accidentally shot himself to death on Monday while teaching his girlfriend about gun safety, the Oakland Press reports.
The 36-year-old man, whose name has not been released, was showing his girlfriend how his three handguns are safe when they aren’t loaded, according to the Detroit Free Press. He was attempting to demonstrate the safety of the handguns by holding them to his head and pulling the trigger.
The third gun fired, and the man was struck in the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three children ages 7, 10, and 12 were in the home, but did not witness the shooting, according to reports. The man's girlfriend told authorities he had been drinking most of the day before the incident took place.
This isn't the first time a gun safety demonstration has gone wrong. In January 2013, 18-year-old Florida resident Alexander Xavier Shaw died doing a similar demonstration. Richard M. McLean, a 22-year-old from Michigan, died in a similar fashion in June 2012. Missouri resident James ? , 40, was also teaching his girlfriend about gun safety when he shot himself in the head in September 2009.

this happens a whooooooooole lot more often within the gun community than you think...than they want you to believe... cheddar bobs happen everyday.
the NRA lobbied congress and won to eliminate the funding done by the CDC to research and provide statistics on these accidents..i think it was recently added back to the budget; but the CDC hasn't done any research
