Ouimet danced with gun in hand before fatal shot
http://www.wcsh6.com/news/article/161999/2/Ouimet-danced-with-gun-in-hand-before-fatal-shot

A recent University of Maine Farmington graduate stood before a Judge Wednesday charged with killing his friend and fellow graduate.

Ryan Ouimet is charged with manslaughter in the death of Andrew Holland in a friend's apartment in Farmington May 31st.

According to court papers Ouimet, Holland and their friend Caroline Halloran smoked marijuana and then Ouimet took out a hand gun. He was dancing to music on the radio while tossing the gun between his hands when it went off.

The shot hit and killed Andrew Holland.

This guy was from NJ and another reason I don't want so-called reciprocal CCW permits in Maine

1. Guns and ammo in the hands of the public is obviously a bad idea and shouldn't be tolerated.

2. It had nothing to do with the weed.
See how progressive we are? We no longer blame irresponsible and anti-social behavior on drug use. We have found another inanimate scapegoat.

9. Not even close to a good...
..comparison. D.A.R.E. amounts to abstinence only education, and we know how well that works with sex education. A good firearm safety class will actually work to education the person about firearms, not tell them to just "stay away" from them, which simply doesn't work.
