A Texas man accidentally shot a child while officiating a wedding in Lancaster County on Saturday, the sheriff’s office says.
Chief Deputy Ben Houchin said deputies were sent to a wedding at Hillside Events near Denton on a report of a gunshot wound.
Deputies learned that 62-year-old Michael Gardner, the wedding’s officiant, fired a gun to get everyone’s attention.
“He was going to fire in the air, and as he did that, it slipped and went off,” Houchin said.
The gun was loaded with a blank that Gardner made with gunpowder and glue.
Picture if he didn’t have a gun how this situation would have went.
He could have shot the child with a bow and arrow :(

Do you think he would have killed a child accidentally with a dinner fork?

If you keep getting shit on, maybe stop acting like a toilet. Idk man every other country in the world figured it out, the US isn’t as special as you’re all taught it is. I’m all about sensible gun controls as well.

Someone who is living in a allegedly first world country who needs to carry a gun around is the issue.

So he probably shouldn’t have a gun then…

He probably would have used firecrackers or something. At least then it would have probably only have been his own fingers.
