Coroner: Man wearing bulletproof vest says, 'Shoot me,' is killed

HONEA PATH, S.C

Timothy Fisher, 25, is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the case, according to deputies. He is being held at the Anderson County Detention Center.

The shooting was reported Wednesday on Broadmouth Church Road at 2:40 a.m., according to Sheila Cole with the Anderson County Sheriff's Office.

Anderson County Deputy Coroner Don McCown said Blake Randall Wardell was hanging around with some other people in a garage at that location when he put on a bulletproof vest they had found.

Wardell asked someone to shoot him, according to McCown.

Wardell was shot with a small-caliber weapon and the shot went above the Kevlar of the vest and into Wardell’s heart, killing him, McCown said.

The Darwin theory in spades!

My daughter went to a convention somewhere in the States a couple of years ago. She was in a group where one of them was a young woman who had served in the war. This woman casually and openly pulled out a handgun to show off to the others. It was passed around to those interested, and they engaged in the pros and cons of this type of gun, they compared gun preferences, and discussed what future purchases they wanted to make.

My daughter said it was one of the weirdest moments she had ever experienced, and that it was shocking to her to see how, even though Canadians share many similarities with Americans, there are some extreme differences.

Pride yourself Canada on the differences.

With the Education levels going down in America and gun ownership going up(including Assault Weapons), and 100 of thousands of Vets dealing with PTSD coming home. The future might not be so bright for the States.

Jon Stewart on the criminally insane NRA backing down from statements that toting assault weapons into fast food restaurants is 'downright weird.'

“We are at the intersection of Open Carry Road and ‘Stand Your Ground’ Place. Here's where we are. So what the f**k are we supposed to do now? According to the NRA’s basic principles, you have a right to carry a weapon that may cause a reasonable person to believe they are in danger of great bodily injury. And they have a right, if they feel that way, to respond with deadly force. It’s a perpetual violence machine. It’s ‘Gunfight at the Golden Corral.’”

Two Guys With Guns Have Showdown On First Day Of Georgia's New 'Guns Everywhere' Law

VALDOSTA — On the first day of the new Georgia Safe Carry Protection Act, a misunderstanding between two armed men in a convenience store Tuesday led to a drawn firearm and a man’s arrest.

“Essentially, it involved one customer with a gun on his hip when a second customer entered with a gun on his hip,” said Valdosta Police Chief Brian Childress.

At approximately 3 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to a call regarding a customer dispute at the Enmark on the corner of Park Avenue and North Lee Street.

A man carrying a holstered firearm entered the store to make a purchase. Another customer, also with a holstered firearm, approached him and demanded to see his identification and firearms license, according to the Valdosta Police Department report.

The customer making demands for ID pulled his firearm from its holster but never pointed it at the other customer, who said he was not obligated to show any permits or identification.

He demanded the man’s ID again. Undeterred by the drawn gun, the man paid for his items, left the store and called for police.

Authorities arrested Ronald Williams, 62, on a charge of disorderly conduct, related to the pulling of a weapon inside of the store, according to the VPD. Police confiscated Williams’ weapon and took him to the Lowndes County Jail.

The police chief said no one can demand a person to show their gun permit. Under the new law, he as police chief and his officers cannot demand to see a firearms permit, Childress said.

“This is an example of my concern with the new gun law that people will take the law into their own hands which we will not tolerate,” Childress said.

I had the news on in the background this morning and heard that over 40 people were shot in Chicago this past weekend. 40!!! Several died including an innocent little girl.

And yet we sit here listening to all these idiots preach to us about how much safer it is if everybody has a gun.

Are you sure it's the gun laws that cause this? Hand guns were banned in Chicago until the Supreme Court ruling a couple years back as are semi-automatic "assault rifles". It is actually easier for me to buy an "assault rifle" in Kelowna than it is for a person in Chicago.

Maybe legally but what about illegally?

I don't know. It's quite easy to buy guns illegally anywhere (just like drugs).
