Yup. If we truly cared about preventing deaths, we'd demand breathalyzers in every vehicle and have stricter driving standards in general....but we don't.

So you'd give up your gun if drivers agree to breathalyzers in every vehicle?
Careful there, careful...the people who demand one of these usually demand the other as well.

So am I so here you go, I come up with the address of 3520 E Cherokee Rd. I think many assume a neighborhood and I am not so sure why that assumption. Should not assume without knowing the facts. I believe a horrible accident based on what I can find, including his address online and these images. Im certainly not justifying his misfortune and carelessness. He will live with this the rest of his life and most likely also spend time in jail. I do believe the police reports that he broke down crying.
Its looks pretty rural to me...
Above google view and Apple Maps confirms the area
https://maps.apple.com/place?address=3520+E+Cherokee+Rd,+Duncan,+OK++73533,+United+States&coordinate=34.463165,-97.9063732&name=3520+E+Cherokee+Rd
So with a satellite image there is a house, I would guess, about 1/3rd a mile back behind his house. With his house being the top right and the home behind at the bottom left.

No one assumed anything. The original article stated, "Law enforcement investigating the shooting canvassed several residences to the north of the deadly shooting...", implying that there's a number of neighboring homes. From the satellite images / links you posted, presuming they're correct, the only home immediately north is the shooter's.

God no. That would just be silly.So you'd give up your gun if drivers agree to breathalyzers in every vehicle?

Oh wow....yea that's very negligent of him to do that with a house that close literally downrange. I would bet he was never taught the firearm safety rules.
Disagree with what people assume as I was replying to someone else regarding a neighborhood.
It is a little dicey getting the address though this is the address online.
Furthermore it would line up with him admitting he was shooting to the south and there is that home behind his yard guessing maybe 1/3rd of a mile. If the map location is correct shooting to the south would line up with being in his backyard.
All this is speculation. Address could also be from a previous home. As far as everything in the press who knows what is accurate or not.
"After being read his Miranda rights, Adams allegedly acknowledged that he was shooting south from his residence on Thursday with the Glock handgun, which had been loaded with approximately eight and then 10 rounds of Winchester .45 caliber ammunition, according to the affidavit. "

Speaking of weapons uncertainties in the reported news - they all use the same initial info sources.
So if the initial sources contain a Honda Camry or a Toyota Accord - that's what will get in the news first. It will get ironed out later, usually. But they have to start with what they've been fed.

To one family in particular the difference between 437 and 438 means everything.
Absolutely
Thats now what I remember reading 30 years ago.
Perhaps my source was in error..
or perhaps yours.

Chronologies are easy to check on that one.
American fraternities are so barbarian! You need fancy jackets, funny hats, and sabres. And a rulebook.
Regarding cover/concealment: against 7.62mmx51 fired from 100m distance, you'd need at least 10cm of concrete, 24cm of bricks or 60-90cm of wood or multiple sandbags to be safe.
Preferably more, as sustained fire can significantly degrade the cover.
Pistol rounds have much lower penetrative power; they carry a fraction of the energy and are usually wider. Still, they will go through more stuff and travel further than most people think.
Danger zone when shooting with pistols and smooth-bore shotguns can extend up to 1500m; rifles up to 5000m.

I hate to say it but to many firearms are just play toys used for fun instead of a tool used for a purpose. I tell the police officer next door and his kids all the time that they are going to eventually hit someone during their play time. A shot from their backyard goes through the trees, over my lower property and is dead even with the top of the railroad tracks and also across the river. It's just a matter of time until I get knocked off the mower or a kid on a four Wheeler is hit riding down the tracks or even someone on a boat. I've offered to let them come over to my house and shoot down into a section of my property where I set up targets and have zero risk of hitting anyone but I guess there is no fun in that. At least they did finally stop when they hear my mower down in the field.
There are a lot of highly irresponsible people out there that own guns.
A lot? Some sure. But let’s not go there.
Well I just did a couple of searches and seems there is some controversy there what he actually saw or didnt see and also some conflicting testimony and if he possibly did or did not know, she was there or not.
But even so, with the most charitable interpretation possible, (which in my mind is incredolous, being something of a shooter myself) this actual trained sniper at a mere 200 meters missed a target he was aiming at and shot someonone whom he dindt see behind a partically closed door in the head?
Thats an incredolous narrative, but eys its one o the working theories.
It seems to me you are somehow implying shooting through a closed door into a houes with women and children and you can see your target is fine?
Or am I misunderstanding you?
Also riddle me this:
If the FBI shooting was totally reasonable and justifiable, how come Randy weaver wont the Civil suit and got 3.5 million USD?
Because under US legal doctrine if its inadvertent and not deliberate they would not owe a penny of restituion is it was all legit law enforcement buisiness.
Not only that under valid US law they could have charged Randy with her murder as he was the supposed "criminal" party that was being surrounded for a reason.
Yet none of that happened.
Also keep in mind this was 1993 and back then the FBI was still held by the vast majority of Americans to be absolutely above reproach (while now we know better) and large civil awards were more rare than they are now.
So I see little need for anyone to be white knighting for this organization.

Not challenging your post.
Do want to mention the winning of the 3.5 million dollar civil suit is a completely different manner.
The attorney for the case was Gerry Spence, an attorney that never lost a case. On many circles he is the very best attorney of his generation. Although the feds have unlimited resources, I suspect the DOJ waived the white flag on the civil case knowing they were going up against Gerry Spence. I don't have personal knowledge of the civil trial, but speculation is no reason for a boxer to return for another round in the ring to get knocked out cold, when one can get technically knocked out.
