he's lucky the barrel was pointed down...

That he "sort of almost" followed some safety rules (muzzle control) kept him alive. I really hate it when I see guys rest their gun muzzles on top of there boots. More that once I've had to tell a guy "if you're going to do that, move it closer to the tip of your toes so you only blow off half your foot".

The golden rule of safe firearm handling is treat ever gun as if it's loaded. Not a smart thing to point a loaded gun at any part of your body.

The Toe offends him... Ignorance or carelessness is not an excuse.

We attended an attempt suicide one evening by someone who was so stupid that he intended to shoot himself in the head only he shot himself in the foot,first,to see if would hurt. True story.....no really.

He's fined $750 for shooting his own toe off and Stan Jonathan is acquited for killing a hunter.

5 year hunting ban....wow...some of the poachers in recent that have been caught on a large scale only got 1-2... This guy just shot himself in the toe...

I'm all for fines and bans, and obviously this is warranted, my comparison in more for the sake of, maybe we pass on these 5 year bans to the other big offenders.
