Man fatally shot in Boaz during game of quick draw

BOAZ (AP) — Police say a 30-year-old man was accidentally killed during a game of quick draw at an automotive shop in Boaz.

WAFF-TV reported a group of people were playing quick draw with guns they thought were unloaded Thursday night when Patrick Daniel Garrett was shot in his torso.

Police say Garrett was taken to Marshall Medical Center South and was pronounced dead.

Charges have not been filed and police confiscated a .40-caliber Glock as evidence.

Natural Selection at its best.

First rule make sure the gun is empty , not think its empty , second do not play with it , it is not a toy , it is for defense against trash and thugs

More ammo for pro guns. Non responsible adults acting like kids.

1. All Guns should be considered to be loaded.

2. Never point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.

3. Never put you finger on the trigger until you are ready to destroy whatever is in the sights.

4. Know what is behind the target.

If your stupid, you better be tough -- or bullet proof.
