I wish the family peace and love in whatever capacity it may one day come.
Lily, rest in peace.
We can do better.
This DEMANDS further investigation.
He should NOT have been pointing a rifle at anything. "DIDN'T Know it was loaded" is NOT an EXCUSE.
When you aim the barrel of a firearm at something and pull the trigger, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for whatever Happens.
He's been charged with homicide, arrested and is currently out in 150,000 bond.
It's being investigated for certain.
I heard another thing in America thats declining is the overall IQ, Americans are just getting dumber & dumber overtime. Idiocracy has truly become a documentary
God given right indeed, but it's the wielder's responsibility to have the fundamentals down & be proficient w/ them.
God isnt real lmao

I feel bad for everyone involved. It's absolutely terrible. Thanks for the quality content.
Condolences to the family!
I told my kids long ago, if any of your friends ever want to "Show you" their gun or their dad's gun, LEAVE. Immediately!!
I'm 100% Pro 2A.
I'm also 100% Pro TRAINING and Responsible Gun Ownership!
One of the best things through years of classes and learning is something you taught me Mickey. Systems. It has prevented accidents and negligence. It’s been something that has become subconscious/ muscle memory for me and I am forever grateful for it.
I'm glad to read this.
Same here. I hear Mick’s voice in my head every time I handle a firearm.
This is very sad, and if truly an accident it was totally preventable.
The unfortunate truth that people don’t like to talk about is that the vast majority of gun owners are, at best, horrendously under skilled and incompetent, and at worst, flat out irresponsible and negligent. Props to you for what you do. We all have a responsibility to demand proficiency and responsibility from those in our circles.
Nonsense
I think there are many very studious people. I know many. All it takes is a few who aren't to create a lot of problems
@@michaelphillips5786 please explain
@@CarryTrainer agreed there most certainly are, perhaps I shouldn’t have said vast majority, as I don’t actually know what percentage would fit in each. I think it’s the stark difference between who you may see in a class, people devoting time and hard earned money to developing themselves, vs who you see at any given public range or worse, those who don’t even go to the range. I think it’s why it’s crucial for those of us that hold a higher standard for ourselves, to bring those around us up. Our collective responsibility to ensure nothing like this happens to those we can impact.
Such a ignorant opinion
Hard truths, praying for her family and friends and the young man ,our whole country needs to listen to this....
So right, owning a gun is a serious responsibility. What you are doing is excellent, educating others about proper use and safety of handling. A gun is not a toy. You must consider the consequences that can and educate everyone in your family if you are a gun owner, especially your children.
I grew up on a farm and Dad taught me how to shoot a gun, but never really taught me gun safety. He'd just grown up with guns in the house never thinking about it. I bought him a new scope for his birthday a couple years ago(71 yrs old now) I went to set up a target down range and I started walking back and he was pointing the rifle straight at me looking down the scope. It was unloaded, but I wasn't happy with him for that.
Looking back at the times I shot with my friends as a teenager and early 20's, I cringe and wonder how someone didn't get shot, they were not taught either.
I'm teaching my daughter different.
Luck is for suckers
WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THIS VIDEO TITLE !! SHE DIDN'T JUST LOSE AN EYE, SHE WAS KILLED !! MAYBE CHOOSE A BETTER TITLE IN THE FUTURE !! 🤔😕😠😡
i agree!!! the guy seems heartless typing that!!
dumbs.He was relating how he got shot on his eye by someone who is also irresponsible.

Heartbreaking story.
Mickey is right it’s up to us to teach those in our homes and in our communities.
There is too much enablement, empowerment, instillation of hope and aspiration, and credulity. And not enough teaching of the dangers, the down sides, and the very real limits that exist. People are being taught they can do anything they decide to, while the negatives are treated like mere theory or abstraction. Those of us who DO believe in the dangers are called paranoid. When tragedy strikes the Polyannas, they never thought it could happen to them.
Truly a heart breaking story. I would like to see firearms safety courses taught in schools,the NRA has a great course for kids. Some parents and grandparents don’t own or have anything to do with firearms but their kids or grandchildren may come across one,the kids and young adults need to know what to do if or when that happens. The Safety rules are there for a reason in the words of Crosby stills and Nash teach your children well
This video is so well put together. Excellent job putting thoughts into words, carefully and respectfully. I can't do anything but commend this message. To say I'm in agreement isn't enough, thank you for putting this out there. This video will be used for teaching and training. Time proven systems and methodologies (as my one mentor would say) need be stressed, taught and learned.

"Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement. And sometimes, that bad judgement can be pretty horrific." ~ Val Geissler in the movie Unbranded
I wonder if a tourniquet might have saved her. Unless it was a shoulder injury or just passed thru and hit her torso as well.
Great video, we have to continue to improve.. Never be stagnant!
Not related to this video, but the Supreme Court just handed down a pro-2A ruling. In a unanimous decision, they repeatedly used the phrase "free and democratic society." Perhaps you should let them know they know nothing about the Constitution, the law or history,...and that they should have used the phrase "free and republican society." Your scholarly rants on this subject are what legands are made of.
Is the investigation completed already? How are they sure this was an accident?
Agree 100% ……….rights come with responsibilities…….
Just living comes with responsibility
Mandatory gun training in our schools would instill safety and awareness. Kinda like typing class or driver's ed.
Jail Time.
My Cousin Danny was shot in the neck by a police officer’s son- he died from his injury. They weren’t young kids- he was college age when it happened, going to Embry Ridel in FLA, but home for break in Brockton Ma. This friend of his “Joe” pointed his father’s revolver at him and shot him through the neck, think it was funny as he clicked through the empty cylinder, until he got to the chamber that wasn’t empty.
Apparently, he went to the box in the closet where he knew his dad kept his gun, tilted out the cylinder and emptied the shells, one shell didn’t drop free though, he didn’t look and didn’t count the rounds- just flipped the cylinder back in, thinking it was going to be funny to scare him with it.
That kid only got community service as a punishment too because of his dad’s cop connections…
This is such a tragedy for that girls family.
Maybe he did it on purpose
People would be shocked by the behavior of people that they know and ordinarily trust. Many years ago while at work, I was sharing my Combat Commander with a coworker, someone I trusted. While admiring the piece, he swung it about and pointed it at another coworker. I was horrified! If something had happened, I would have held a great deal of responsibility. I learned a serious lesson that day.
Rule #1: "There is no such thing as an unloaded weapon." (much stronger than "treat every weapon as though it were loaded")
Never ever outgrow the 4 Basic Fundamentals of Firearm safety!
1) Always ASSUME a firearm is loaded.
2) Never point your firearm at anything you DO NOT wish to destroy.
3) Never put your finger on the trigger, until you have acquired the target and made the decision to shoot. (Keep your finger on the frame of the firearm! Not the trigger guard!)
4) Know your target, what's behind your target, by the side of the target, and what could get in front of your target (Defensive Firearm Training is for a 360 deg real world!)
I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR THAT GIRL "LILY".🙏
Thanks for this. Truly a tragedy I think we all can learn from. I hate reading comments from guys with tiny peckers and too much pride to realize that they too can learn from this. I also was shot in the face with a pellet gun from a few feet away when I was a kid (unintentionally). I also had a friend shot feet from me 6 times with a 22 and he died (intentionally). Firearms are a Right but it comes with personal responsibility.
The thing about rights is that they come with responsibilities. These days most folks wanna bang on about their rights but you don't hear much about responsibilities. I'm with you, I'm angry about this. It is such a waste.
Just left a outdoor unsupervised range never to go back because of dangerous people not just one visit but one to many. Will not return. Yes lots of people do not deserve to own or even touch firearms.
I dont even have a gun licensen. But even i know gun safety 101 dont point on people even if you Think its unloaded
What was the guy like this doing around firearms in the first place?
Did that so called friend really hate you?
Naw. He was playing and did something really stupid.
it was his brothers military rifle he stole it from him
You have the right to drive a car and we all think it is a good idea everybody has to take driving lessons and pass a test before being allowed on the road...
Driving is a privilege not a right. I agree with your sentiment, and know I’m nitpicking a bit, but there’s a huge difference between the two
@@KP-Pro2A women did not always have the right to drive in the past and in some Middle Eastern countries still are not allowed to drive. Seems more like a right we have forgotten about because it is so common to us
@@ttkddry there are differences between rights and privileges. They aren’t the same thing, that’s all I’m pointing out.
Why was she even in the same room as that guy? Unreal.
My kids got into shooting because I hunt. Eventually, they got involved in high school trap shooting. I made sure to get involved and assistant coach. This means that all my kids have gone through a gun safety class and been exposed to guns their whole life.
Before my time, those classes were taught IN the school system. In my day, we took gun safety outside of school but many people had a rack in their car and had a rifle or shotgun in that car. It seems, as we have removed the training from schools and continued to demonize/fear monger guns the instances of gun violence/accidents, especially in schools, has been on an exponential rise.
It is my opinion that we need to bring gun safety back into the schools. Even if you, as a parent, abhor guns, your children, no matter how much you try to coddle them, will come into contact with a gun if they live in America. Understanding the power of the gun and the basics with how to operate them, will go so much further towards safety than trying to "ban" or "limit" the guns.
It's also my opinion that we layer on safety measures so that when taken all together almost guarantee total safety. Remove one layer and the safety drops but does not diminish. So, if you practice all the safety measures, you are 99% safe. The idea of the layering is that, as a gun user, the likelihood you might get complacent or mess up at some point is, statistically, high and as long as you practice all the layers, even if you miss one or half-ass one, you will still be 95% safe. Continue practicing safety so that, should an accident happen, you will only be down on layer BUT continue to try for perfection. My saying is, I practice gun safety so that the accident I WILL have will not be catastrophic.
Such a heart breaking tragedy. Its truly a horribke shame
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the invaluable training I’ve received from you regarding firearms and self-defense. Your emphasis on safety protocols and the creation of a personalized system has been particularly impactful.
I believe it’s crucial to always prioritize and adhere to our safety systems, especially when handling firearms. It's essential to emphasize the importance of gun safety around children and inexperienced individuals to prevent accidents and ensure everyone's well-being.
Thank you for your dedication and expertise. Your teachings have made a significant difference in my understanding and practice of firearm safety...
With only less than 5 min of video and I already shared to everyone. Although I live on a different country with different laws, but you Sir, are a real Teacher (of life). And this videos sums really well... Take responsibility. 🎉❤❤❤
So sad, when i was 14 i went hunting with my dad. I shot a buck about 100yds with a mossberg 500. In my excitment quickly walking up to it, i slipt and fell in the mud. When i got up to the deer i had to finish it off. I stood 5 ft away and aimed down, boom...PAIN in my foot...deer dead...i thought i shot my foot off, but it was still there. When i got back to the cabin i noticed the end of the barrel was gonenit got mud in it and blew up.
Thank you for this. When I was a kid, one of my friends pulled out their parent's gun and before in knew it, I was looking down the barrel. She never had any training and the gun wasn't locked up. I'm sure it was loaded. I could have been a statistic. I got the hell out of there and I never spoke of it again to anyone.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I haven't thought of that situation in a very long time. It makes me angry when I do think about it.
Makes me wonder how many kids are near statistics like me?
Liked your channel but if you're one of those that remove comments that you don't like, then you're part of the problem. No better than the man. Sorry, have to unsubscribe. And everyone can save their breath with "bye" comments. I won't see them.
Terrific JOB! Tragic Story! Should be shown in every school!
This is a very sad scenario. Lives irrevocably changed forever. Everything we do, every swing of the axe can have profound consequences.
Awesome show.
@CarryTrainer Lily is my beautiful daughter.
So sorry.
Sorry for your loss…
18-20 are humans as well. They are "we the people".
Good educational talk that is needed.
I bought an 870 Remington pump shotgun when my mother had to sign because I was one year under age! 102$ is what it cost brand new! I still have it today. It was 1971.
Mick before this one year for Christmas I received a single shot 20 gauge. My Dad bought two guns one for me and one for my brother. He paid 26$ plus tax they were H&R shotguns still have mine. Maybe I gave it to my son. What made think of this was you shooting the concrete block. One day behind my grandfather’s house I had that 20 gauge I was in the woods by myself! It was loaded with #3 buckshot so I decided to conduct a test. As kids do I back up a few feet from a 6 inch thick are so pine sapling and shot it it made a whole just a little one side about 3 inches across completely through the tree and it fell over! That from then on has been stuck in my mind! Of the destructive power of a gun! Of course since I have harvested many wild game and have seen more evidence the power of different firearms! But never forgot that pine tree falling over!
"Rights" is just a fancy of way of saying "responsibilities."
I understand your point, but not that same.
Dumb.
What do you think is dumb Matt Dee?
He has good rules and systems to see that. 15-30 people handling firearms to keep everybody safe to make a good safe and fun learning environment
@@tom-mx4ww It was avoidable. Never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot. It's sad, the loss. I Have no issue with the information put out in this video.
Dumb indeed. Tragic and avoidable
@@matthewdeeyes correct, I wasn’t sure what you meant. When all you said. Was “dumb” thx for clearing that up
Kid has crazy look in his eyes. Also, WTF is an AR 15 in your trunk for? I Hope they dig deep on this one. wouldn't Suprise me kid had a jealous rage of some sort towards her. Look how beautiful she is. RIP. I hope he does some hard time and never gets to have a gun again...
That's a waste. Muzzle control troops....that tool is terminal. Clawhammers, knives, hands / feet, screwdrivers, etc. Same deal. Have a great summer, its going to be interesting ! 🙏 🇺🇸
How bout keeping your daughter away from people like this. Tha5s the beginning
How does getting shot in the Arm cause death? In an Ambulance en-route to hospital??? Sounds like some serious bulshity Da.
Learn first aid.Cannot count on EMS.
Right on!
Very sad she lost her life to stupidity. Maybe we do need some common sense restrictions. All people definitely shouldn't own them. That guy was obviously not trained
We need mandatory gun safety and lawful usage classes that one has to take and pass before they can own or use a gun.
@@Philmoscowitzcriminals don’t follow gun laws nor do they take training classes and therefore I as an American should not be forced to do so to legally bare arms.
Never Change America 😂
I support the 2A, but I also believe that we need commonsense gun laws. I'm not talking about restrictions on magazine capacity or banning semi-auto rifles derived from military assault rifles (those are based on ignorance rather than commonsense, in my opinion). I'm talking about making a law that says you need to take and pass firearm safety and lawful usage classes before you can own or even use a gun. They should be mandatory, just like passing a driver's test to get a driver's license is mandatory.
I'm skeptical, but what you are saying makes a lot more sense than the current bs laws politicians have passed here in California. Handgun roster, featureless rifles, etc only punish law abiding citizens and arguably make firearms less safe.
Yes! Exactly! It is mind boggling that there are so many people screaming, "It's my God given right!" Hello?? If you can't pass a gun safety class, you have no business owning a firearm. RESPONSIBLE gun owners want responsible, common sense gun laws, not a free for all. And if it's a "God given right", then should felons be allowed to own them? Should babies be allowed to have and play with them?? I honestly can see our corrupt politicians legislating for it. Maybe not the felons, but children, sure. I'm so tired of children losing their lives because of these money hungry politicians, who DGAF about the people they're supposed to be serving. We couldn't even bring bags in to my brother's graduation. Drinks had to be sealed as well. And WTF would anyone ever point a gun at someone, for fun. I feel like it is common sense to not point unless you plan to shoot. Always treat every gun as if it were loaded. Idk. I grew up with guns locked up and bullets stored up and separately. Guns were not toys, even fake ones. We weren't allowed to play with them. We took gun safety as children. I guarantee that over half of these people basically insinuating that their guns are more important than children, don't even know the most basic gun safety.
