True story.
We had a few stouts(beer) last night and were talking about funny shit we both have done in our lives. And out of nowhere, he brought up a sad story about his best friend. Initially, I thought it was going to be something about the war - because he served in WW2. I won't say it was "far worse," but it made me cry pretty damn hard. It's short but very sad.
My grandpa and his best friend went hunting, squirrel hunting. They were out there for a like thirty minutes and couldn't find any squirrels he said. Unfortunately, his best friend was behind some thick bush when he thought it was a squirrel. He shot in the bush and something fell on the ground; his best friend was choking on his own blood for a few seconds before dying. He got shot with a shotgun somewhat close, but he didn't die instantly.
He had to carry his dead best friend, who he just killed, to his parents and tell them that he killed their son in a hunting accident. The police came, but back then the law was very different. He didn't go to prison but went on to serve in WW2. He was a young teenager when this happened.
So yeah, that's pretty much it. I can't believe that shit. Living with the fact you killed your best friend is just so damn horrible. Permanent mental scar.

Damn...

Damn.... I actually remember a story, sort’ve similar that my grandpa told me before he passed. He was living on a farm with his family and his elderly grandma, but one night, the house caught fire. Everyone got out except his grandmother. Man, when thinking back to the savage of the old world, comparing it to our society that thinks snorting condoms and eating Tide Pods is ok, you have to ask. Where did it all go wrong?
-
Terrible story. The forum goers here will try to relate themselves to this tragedy which is funny because like 90% of them cry against guns everyday.
-
F**k, dude... That's messed up.
-
Did he ever get that squirrel?
-
How did you respond to that?
-
I'm hoping this is an April fool's joke and we see an edit tomorrow...
-
Apiril fools? Please? :'(
-
That’s just horrible, no one should ever have to go through that.
-
-
Damn.
-
No offense but today is a reaaaaal bad time to post that
-
Lol friendly fire, get this asshole outta here *booted*
-
It's April 1st. I don't believe anything today.
-
If I lost my best friend like that I don’t know what I would do
-
And the sad part is following common sense hunting rules coulda saved his life.
-
Jesus that's terrible.
-
Ouch man, that’s got to be tough
-
Tragedies like that are far too common. When I was a Boy Scout many moons ago, they taught us the Sportsman's Code, that reminded us to never point a gun (loaded or un) at anyone, and never shoot where you can't see. Their hope was to ensure that what happened to your grandfather and his friend couldn't happen to us.
-
April fools!
-
That’s terrible. It accentuates the rule my dad taught me to always identify your target before firing. I didn’t do that once and killed one of my Grandpa’s neighbor’s cows. I had to work for 4 months to pay Grandpa back to replace that cow.

Exactly the reason kids don't need to be toting guns, including adult children.
