People who know how to handle guns don't shoot themselves (I've handled guns since I was 10 and I've never shot myself and everyone I know who handles guns have never shot themselves). This guy clearly doesn't know how to properly handle a gun and if can shoot himself accidentally he is a bigger threat to everyone else than to any bad guy that may one day run across his path - actually the bad guy might be better of with this guy around as he might shoot himself trying to engage a bad guy and do the bad guy's work for him.
