[QUOTE="Greywolf18, post: 434241, member: 14172"] While I really and truly do feel for the family due to the loss of their son, the incident could have been avoided. Plain and simple, never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot. I don't care if your loading, unloading, cleaning, or don't even have the bolt in the rifle...you NEVER point the barrel in the direction of another person. On the other hand, if there is a problem with the trigger I feel Remington should fix it. I have not been shooting for nearly the amount of time a lot of the members here have been, but I've never had a misfire (yet), and I hope it never does happen. I also know nothing about modifying triggers, and so I leave that to a competent gunsmith that I trust. If Remington doesn't fix it, then more people will start coming out of the woodworks claiming that it happened to them as well while trying to get a huge lawsuit going. In the end, defending the company will be more expensive (especially if they have an anti-gun jury) than just fixing the problem. Just my 2 cents... [/QUOTE]
