It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Yeah that's terrible for him; doesn't help the baby much though.
As a father and grandfather, I cannot even begin to imagine the mental anguish this man is experiencing and will experience. Just one microsecond of sheer stupidity and he basically ended three lives; the child's, his, and the child's mother's.

I included her in there because, as a man, I cannot imagine carrying another human under your heart for nine months, going through the birth process, and then having that child snatched away like this.

Even with all of that, I hope someone has the compassion to reach out to both of them and try to comfort them. These are, after all two of our fellow humans who are hurting in a way that most of us cannot even imagine. I pray that none of us ever experiences this.

This is exactly why I use Snap-Caps. It has everything to do with gun safety and nothing to do with protecting the gun. Snap-Caps force the user to open the action and empty the gun.
