Man demonstrates gun safety to his girlfriend by putting gun to his head and shooting himself dead. Um, I don't think that's how you do it.

A 36-year-old Independence Township man is dead after he shot himself in the head while demonstrating the gun, deputies reported. 

The Oakland County Medical Examiner has ruled his death a suicide. 

The man’s girlfriend was performing CPR on the victim when deputies from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the residence on Pinedale — off of Sashabaw Road south of Maybee Road - at 9 p.m. on Sunday. 

The girlfriend, who also lived at the Independence Township residence, told deputies the victim had been drinking most of the day. She told authorities that he had begun showing her how to use his three handguns and demonstrating how safe they were when they were empty, which he did by placing the gun to his head and pulling the trigger, officials said. 

After doing this twice, he demonstrated the third handgun and the gun fired, striking him in the head. 

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

You know I would like to applaud this gun owner. At least he only killed himself.

By the way I don't want to judge his girlfriend too harshly, after all she just lost a loved one, but you would think she might have said something the first time he put a gun to his head, or at the very least the second time, and not just sat there and let him blow his stupid brains all over the walls.

Well at least this guy demonstrated how safe guns are to his girlfriend.

They're not. Especially when pressed against your skull.
