Report on Tennessee Accidental Gunshot Deaths was Wrong

ruger 44_magnumA publicized report that Tennessee had 105 accidental gunshot deaths during 2014-more than any state in the nation-was wrong. There were actually just five such fatalities, according to the state Department of Health. The Safe Tennessee Project initially reported the 105 fatalities earlier this month, saying the surprisingly high figure had been verified at the time by both the federal Center for Disease Control and the Department of Health.
