One person died due to carelessness while using a muzzle-loading rifle.

(Baonghean.vn) - On September 29, Major Nguyen Ngoc Tu, Political Officer of My Ly Border Guard Station (Nghe An Border Guard Command), said that a death due to carelessness while using a homemade muzzle-loading gun had occurred in My Ly commune.

The flintlock rifle was seized by the My Ly Border Guard Post.

Specifically, Mr. Lau Chia Mua, born in 1968, residing in Pieng Vai village, My Ly commune, Ky Son district, was repairing a homemade rifle at home when, due to carelessness, the gun accidentally discharged, causing Mr. Mua to die instantly. This serious incident stemmed from the local people's continued habit of possessing and using homemade firearms.

It is known that, in recent times, in order to prevent the dangers of homemade guns, My Ly Border Guard Station has actively coordinated with all levels, sectors and local Party committees and authorities to propagate and mobilize the people to recover hundreds of muzzle-loading guns.
