Otherwise, it will happen to the best of us:

(AP): SAN DIEGO – Navy officials have confirmed that a Navy SEAL who accidentally shot himself in the head has died.

Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Frank Magallon tells the U-T San Diego that Petty Officer 3rd Class Gene "Geno" Clayont, Jr. was taken off life support on Saturday. He is survived by his parents and three sisters.

San Diego police were called on Thursday after the accident. Police say Clayton had gone to a bar and brought a woman back to his apartment and was showing her guns when he put a pistol to his head, believing it was unloaded, and pulled the trigger.

Paramedics took Clayton to a San Diego hospital where he was placed on life support.

If I should ever need to defend myself while drunk, I'll have no qualms about using a firearm.

On the other hand, drunk or sober, I will never point a firearm at my own head.

Can't blame alcohol for this one.

You guys can blast me ALL you want.

1st stupid thing here - FOX News. Headline "Navy SEAL Dies After Accidentally Shooting Himself". No, the idiot did NOT accidently shoot himself, he just plain stupid shot himself.

2nd stupid thing here - He was a Navy SEAL, and a stupid one at that. When you put a gun to your head and pull the trigger, expect to die.

Not so much sad as much as it is STUPID! The only tragedy here is that he portrays the SEALS in a negative light.
