I'm not looking for a discussion/argument about guns. I just don't
believe this story. I don't believe someone trained as thoroughly with
firearms as a Navy Seal would *accidentally* shoot himself or anyone
else, or wouldn't know that his firearm was loaded.

I agree that the odds of that happening are very VERY slim, but there
is that chance that it could have happened, but I'd be suspicious as
well..


Everyone is taught to assume a gun is loaded unless you personally check
and see that it isn't.

All we know for sure is that in addition to the gun, alcohol and a
woman were involved. Dangerous combination, perfectly capable of
cancelling out a lot of good training. Have you ever known anyone
who got smarter when they were drinking and/or trying to impress a
woman?
