Tonight, a patriot is probably wishing that Obama actually had taken his gun from him…

According to a report from NewsOn6, a member of an armed group that was guarding an Oktaha OK gun store accidentally shot himself today.

The group has been on watch outside the Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gear store after owners claimed they received death threats for putting up a sign declaring Muslims unwelcome.

Muskogee County Sheriff Charles Pearson said that one of these #Mericans dropped his gun, it discharged, hitting the same fellar in his arm. Pearson wasn’t shy about expressing his opinion on the overall preparedness of this group of freedom defenders:

 

I saw several of those gentlemen out there yesterday. The way they were holding their weapons, with the fingers on the triggers, you can tell a couple of these gentlemen have no idea about weapons safety. It’s like the Clampetts have come to town.

 

Though the Sheriff said one of the guards was at fault, the owner of the gun shop is telling a different story via Facebook:

 

I would like to address the sad news of today’s unfortunate accident. First I would like to state the true FACTS of the story. The gentleman was a close and personal friend of ours, not a guard nor a customer. He is a very sweet and dear friend who we consider to be like family. He came over today to help fix a door in my office and as he bent over his weapon fell from a malfunctioning chest holster and went off when it hit the floor. I myself performed emergency first aide until the ambulance could arrive. We then went to the hospital to be with the family which is why we closed for the day. He is going to be ok and we will keep you updated on his progress. We strive for safety on our range and in our store and encourage everyone to maintain safety checks on their equipment to ensure they are properly functioning. Thank you and please keep this family in your prayers!

 

I wonder if the shop or the family would mind these prayers coming from those of the Muslim faith?
