"Friend charged with shooting App State student
Gaylen Elijah Ruble

Updated: 47 minutes ago

Boone, N.C. — Boone police charged a man with manslaughter Monday in the weekend shooting of an Appalachian State student.

Gaylen Elijah Ruble, 20, told investigators that he intended to startle friend Jay Franklin Derby, 19, by firing a percussion cap at him.

Ruble said he did not know the gun was loaded.

Paramedics said Derby was dead when they arrived at the Appalachian South Apartments on Faculty Street around 12:30 a.m. Sunday.

Ruble was held on a charge of involuntary manslaughter with a bond of $10,000. He is due in court Dec 15."

Firearms rules I learned as a kid:

Never point a firearm at anyone.
Always treat the firearm as loaded.
Never shoot a firearm when someone is down-range of you.
Firearms can kill you dead.

+1 We even take out the entire sliding mechanism on bolt action rifles when rollin' through the woods on 4 wheelers. The only gun even functional in my house is the home defense 9mm loaded with 1 round pellets followed by a clip of hollowpoints. And the clip and gun are stored separately. Pellets to attempt wounding, if it gets to the 2nd someone is going to the hospital or the graveyard. I guess another rule was if you point it at anything living you better be willing to kill it.

^^^Ditch those pellets like your pregnant date on prom night.

You shoot to stop the threat, not to piss someone off.

/thread derail.

we used to do that shit all the time with shotguns, cut the shell right under the wad and dump out the shot and powder, the primer by itself is surprisingly loud

Apparently it's the best excuse that guy could come up with after he murdered someone.

No.

Just because some kid was probably high (let's get real people, this is App we're talking about) and fucked up big time does not make us all Mountaineers. This is nowhere near the same level as the VT shootings or the Eve Carson deal.

Agreed.

I think the "today we are all mountaineers" post was a bit of a joke.
