Man fatally shoots son-in-law amid a birthday surprise

[W_and_C]

Somehow I just know that “moar gunz!!” is the answer here:

Florida man fatally shoots son-in-law who was trying to surprise him for his...

A Florida man who shot and killed his son-in-law who jumped out of a bush to surprise him for his birthday will not face criminal charges, authorities said.

Christopher Bergan, 37, had arrived in Florida from Norway on Tuesday night to surprise his wife’s father, Richard Dennis, 61, Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson said [at a news conference Thursday]

The sheriff called the shooting “totally accidental,” saying it was preceded by an unrelated incident at about 9:30 p.m. that night when a relative banged on Dennis’ front door. The banging startled Dennis, who went outside and ran the person off, the sheriff said.

Tragic story.

Well, according to many ammosexuals, “moar careful” translates into arming yourself to the teeth anytime you walk down to your mailbox, so…

Stories like these run counter to the tired notion that the more armed we are, the safer we are. It’s not just malicious, it’s tragic accidents like these that are more likely to happen with everyone running around armed to the teeth.

That’s a sham… wait WHAT!?!

He surprised him from the bushes and the old man still managed to shoot him? I have been told many times that’s simply not possible.

No doubt. Maybe the lesson to be learned is don’t hide in the bushes like a child and jump out growling.

Or maybe just don’t ■■■■ with old men.

Yeah. That dude was Norwegian.

I guess in the socialistic hellhole of Norway where the oppressive government has deprived the populace of the right to carry firearms you’re still free to surprise someone on their birthday without being shot to death
