Lots of sad stories of people murdered by guns every day. Every single on of them was a hero to someone. I think this one stands out because if he can't protect himself as a trained and skilled shooter then what protection is a gun or his experience in using one? Certainly he was better equipped to defend himself than probably 99%of gun victims.

This death will not cause the much needed intropsection and reality call that it should. THAT i s the sad part of his death. He will end up like all other gun deaths. Just another...number.
