In response to an inquiry from The Bugle, the Kent County Sheriff’s Office issued a firearm safety reminder:
“We have seen cases this year where people accidentally discharged firearms and injured themselves. Firearms are never toys. Always treat every firearm as if it is loaded, keep it pointed in a safe direction, keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot, and never handle firearms while drinking or impaired. One careless moment can cause a lifelong injury or tragedy.”
