Fort Worth man dies while demonstrating the safety on his gun. He held the gun to his head.
Violates ALL four gun safety rules and kills himself.

Main question, other than the obvious:
What firearm was it?
Was the safety actually on?

It is sometimes a pity that firearms typically don't do anything to enhance the safe practices of their users.

Inaccuracy: "accidentally" kills himself. Anyone pointing a gun to his head and pulling the trigger, especially on a gun which he seems to have known was loaded, has not done anything accidentally. He accidentally overestimated his intelligence.

As the proud owner of two Glocks I admit I laughed when I read this comment.

Probably didn't feel a thing, or even heard the bang.

Not no more! Seriously I will pray for his family and friends, who are probably devastated by this action.
