Let’s review basic firearms safety. This sniper violated 2 of the 4 rules of gun safety (read linked article for details).
1. Keep your finger off the trigger until you have made the decision to fire.
2. Positively identify your target, and what lies beyond.
The other 2 rules are:
3. Don’t point your muzzle at anything you do not intend to destroy
4. Every gun is loaded unless you personally verify otherwise.

Rainy day in Prescott 2/27/2017. This is the roof on my neighbor’s carport. Hopefully this rain will turn to snow overnight (one can hope, right?)

Me with Leo the pit bull at the Yavapai Humane Society. The vast majority of pit bulls I’ve handled at YHS have been nice dogs. Many are very strong and some hard to control on a leash, but that’s called lack of training. Leo here was well behaved, I like him.
YHS got a bunch of small dogs from Maricopa County, small dogs adopt out fast here. Shelters regularly swap dogs that are there a long time, and transfers like the incoming small dogs are very common. While I was there 2 potential adopters looked at small dogs.
