A 20-year old man took a 9mm gun to a birthday party yesterday. A party where there was alcohol. He drank some of the alcohol. He shot his gun the air- several times. He got to talking with a small group and drew his gun again. He accidentally(???) fired the gun again - and took off the side of his head. He's not stupid any more. He's dead.

The newspaper didn't say if he had a license to own a gun.

Got a link to an article?

One end of the gene pool seems to be getting more shallow...

Where is the link to the article? Did this happen in Texas? If it did, why would he need a license to own a gun, none required in Texas? Then again no license is required to be stupid. Why are you questioning the "accident"? Do you think we wanted to blow his brains out?

Sounds like the guy did us all a favor and added a little chlorine to the gene pool

"A birthday party ended Friday night with one man dead and two brothers, including the honoree, in jail.

Matthew A. Chapa Zapata, 20, of Victoria, died from a gunshot wound to the head after he accidentally shot himself while playing with a handgun, officials said."

This is Texas. There is no license necessary to "own a gun."

While examining Matthew Johnson's property, deputies found a small, black bag with a white powdery substance believed to be cocaine, according to the report.

Why am I not surprised?

What is a "license to own a gun"?

He is 20 years old, so unless he is Military (unlikely), he couldnt have a Texas CHL, if I remember the law properly

A CHL is a license to CARRY a concealed handgun. No license is required to OWN a gun in Texas

So the president doesn't qualify?

Im aware of that, my response was against (just not quoted) others above who asked if this was CHL related.
