San Diego Police Department Officer Frank Cali said that the SEAL had been drinking with a woman at a bar. After returning to his Pacific Beach home, he had tried to convince the woman that his 9 mm pistol was safe to handle by putting it to his head and pulling the trigger.

Darwinism: it's a bitch.

Shows you even pros can make mistakes when they break the rules. Incidents like this are why my handguns stay locked away if there's any open alcohol in the apartment or anyone in the place has been drinking. No excuses, no exceptions.

Gun powder, tequila and a full metal jacket swizzle stick...nastiest cocktail I know of.

This is certainly a black eye for the SEALs. And just a damn shame. What an idiot.

Thats surprising to hear about one with such training. Always treat every firearm as if it were loaded, period. This is what happens when you don't.

That's it, we need gun control in the military. No guns for them!

/trolling

Alcohol + any weapon = bad.

And then there's the story of a guy who wanted to commit suicide, so he got himself stupid drunk, tried to shoot himself in the head.....and missed, but did manage to shoot his nose off.

Guess he was too drunk to realize the 9mm wasn't the gun the woman wanted to handle.

All guns are always loaded.
Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Yep, broke all 4.

Technically not number 3, since the target was his head.
