The death of Command Sergeant Major Michael Heintz as a result of a misfire of his gun at a private range in South Carolina is a reminder to all of us that the hobby we love is dangerous. A brave man is dead because his gun misfired. By all accounts, it was that rare bird, a true accident with a gun.
It is a reminder to all of us why we must also keep in mind that we should never forget to live out lives in such a way that if we happen not to come home at night, those left behind should absolutely know that we loved and cared for them.
