Learning proper gun safety can be a matter of life and death. That holds true for those who give the lessons, as well as for the students they teach.
On Friday, an Imperial, Mo., man insisted on instructing his girlfriend as to the safe way to handle firearms before the two were to travel to a local shooting range.
According to, witnesses said James Looney, 40, arrayed several firearms before his pupil, then demonstrated various safety features by pointing two guns to his own head and pulling the triggers.
When Looney attempted a similar demonstration with a third gun, it went off, fatally wounding him.
Sheriff's deputies believe that alcohol was involved.
