I think the answer is that anyone can have an "oops" moment. if that moment comes when you are gun handling, it can be deadly.

He violated 2 of the 3 rules to manage to do this.

Agreed. It just kills me when anti's say only LEO's are qualified to be responsible enough to handle weapons. I suppose they'll say no one is qualified to handle weapons and all weapons should be banned, lol. :banghead:

Could be there is a little more to the story though. the guy seems kind of connected.
Riley Taylor worked at the Fulton County Sheriff's Department under then-Sheriff Jackie Barrett, who has since retired. He retired from a post at the jail as a lieutenant in 2007 after having his rank reduced by Barrett, who was under fire for financial mismanagement of the department and for deficiencies at the jail.



Shortly after Taylor retired, U.S. District Judge Marvin Shoob chose Taylor to become the auditor of jail records. Shoob is overseeing the jail in response to a lawsuit that charged it was overcrowded, dirty and dangerous
