This morning I was downstairs preparing for a job interview. eating breakfast, and watching news.
When I heard the immediately recognizable report of a gun discharge in my house, upstairs.
I squatted waited about a second, and I heard OMG up stairs, I quickly yelled "Is any body hurt, and then went to check my roommates bedroom downstairs to see if he was ok.
As I ran to his room I saw the bullet exit hole through the ceiling and where it impacted on the floor. Only a few feet away from where my roommate was standing in his bedroom.
Thankfully nobody was hurt.
The Facts:
Roommate A who legally owns his .40 XD subbie placed his locked and loaded pistol (as he always keeps it) on his dresser, there are no children in the house. As he was in the bathroom. (normally he carries the pistol on him).
Roommate B picks up the gun, playing with it, and shows it to "A"'s girlfriend points it at the ground and says "watcha gonna do now mutha ****a" and accidentally discharges a bullet into the second floor, nearly missing my other roommate "C".
Now roommate C is pissed off at roommate A for having the firearm, and he is requiring that roommate A get rid of it or move out (he keeps it for safety reasons as he has restraining orders on some people from his past).
My question is WTF did roommate B think when he 1. picked up the gun, 2. pointed it around, 3. placed his finger on the trigger.
Roommate B said he didn't have his hand on the trigger and that he didn't have his hand on the gun which I call BS (as does the girlfriend)
Roommate A even demonstrated that the gun would not fire unless both safeties were disengaged.
My point is, that in my opinion all the blame rests with roommate B, and his poor gun handling skills (treat all weapons as locked and loaded, esp if it is not yours), while roommate B denies any fault and he blames roommate A for having a loaded weapon.
What do you guys think, about the situation, who is at blame and how should I go about convincing my roommate "C" that the blame rests w/ "B" mostly, else the house will be gun free.
