![]() Navy SEAL dies after accidentally shooting himself The Associated Press Published Saturday, Jan. 07, 2012 SAN DIEGO -- Navy officials have confirmed that a Navy SEAL who accidentally shot himself in the head has died. Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Frank Magallon tells the U-T San Diego that Petty Officer 3rd Class Gene "Geno" Clayont, Jr. was taken off life support on Saturday. He is survived by his parents and three sisters. San Diego police were called on Thursday after the accident. Police say Clayton had gone to a bar and brought a woman back to his apartment and was showing her guns when he put a pistol to his head, believing it was unloaded, and pulled the trigger. Paramedics took Clayton to a San Diego hospital where he was placed on life support. - - - I'm not looking for a discussion/argument about guns. I just don't believe this story. I don't believe someone trained as thoroughly with firearms as a Navy Seal would *accidentally* shoot himself or anyone else, or wouldn't know that his firearm was loaded. |

Uh oh, does that mean that if someone who shot someone else has ever been active in the Navy of Coast Guard, I can post about it? Or if a gun that's used in the Navy was used in the commission of a crime, I can post about it? How about navy bean soup? Is that boating related? |

I'm sure all the facts weren't released to the newshounds. |

Hey, jps, post about anything that's not going to foster an atmosphere like the one we had in here. The sarcasm, name-calling, personal insulting, etc., etc. just aren't necessary. We all know your opinion on gun ownership. We may or may not agree with it, but there's just no sense in the continuous fighting about it - or anything else for that matter. Now, a good recipe for Navy bean soup would *always* be appreciated! |

Dangerous combination, perfectly capable of cancelling out a lot of good training. Have you ever known anyone who got smarter when they were drinking and/or trying to impress a woman? |

Now, a good recipe for Navy bean soup would *always* be appreciated! I like good Navy bean soup but for reasons that escape me, I prefer Cuban black bean soup. I don't know why it is called "Cuban" black been soup, since the same soup with minor variations is found all over the Carib and in Central and South America. In the good old days before 9-11, just about anyone could get into the cafeteria in the U.S. Senate and have a good, inexpensive meal, and Navy bean soup was part of it. |
