Los Angeles authorities say the wife of former Eagles band member Randy Meisner was killed when a rifle she was handling accidentally discharged and shot her in the head.
A police news release says officers found 63-year-old Lana Rae Meisner dead on Sunday from a single gunshot wound at the couple’s home in the San Fernando Valley.
Investigators say Lana Rae Meisner lifted the rifle from a storage case when another item inside shifted and hit the trigger, causing the gun to fire.
Police say Randy Meisner was cooperative throughout the investigation. Officials say police had responded to the home earlier Sunday and took a domestic violence incident report.
Randy Meisner co-founded the Eagles and co-wrote and sang the hit “Take It To the Limit.” He played bass and guitar and left the band in 1977.

This may sound impossible but I had this occur in a hunting camper. The rifle was laid temporarily inside on a bed and then I thought better of that, so when I reached, without picking it up to take it off ‘safety’ to unload it, it fired right through the camper wall. The trigger had a corner of the gun case wedged in it.
Scary? You bet! This was almost 50 years ago. Murphy’s law says it’s possible and it did happen. That may have happened in this case. Accidents are lurking just seconds away
and being young / inexperienced or either with firearms is extremely dangerous.
It still needs a very close look at the scene.
What idiot keeps a rifle loaded. Either he OJd her or she was an idiot. Either way……eh
Uh, all of my guns are always loaded. Only idiots don’t have their guns loaded. You know why? An unloaded gun is a very expensive rock that is difficult to throw and it will get you shot because people think you have a loaded gun.
Oh well, there won’t be any more guns in America after Hillary gets elected. First order of business for her will be:
1. Remove the gun manufacturers from America. (another several more businesses leaving America along with workers.
2. Have ATF remove all registered guns from their owners.
3. Jail those who refuse to surrender their guns.
4. Legislate a law giving anyone caught with a gun a lifetime sentence in prison.
IF YOU DON’T WANT THE ABOVE TO HAPPEN,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, VOTE FOR DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT.
Trump 2016!!!!
I agree…we must vote with common sense. Liberals have no need for brains, it’s all emotion or nothing..
Trump & Hillary can both go screw them. Self. Both are pigs
Agreed and Sanders too
Kiburt
I don’t understand what you are talking about ?? No more guns. .? If we don’t talk with some measure of intelligence the democraticas will wipe the floor with us. Hillary is not going to take our guns !!! She will just make Americans more dependent on government run up the debt. Make no mistake she knows the issues & is top tier debater I disagree on just about every thing she stands for but she will slaughter any one that we put up that don’t know the issues
Trump would be the worst one to put up he is a very poor debater on the issues in the General they will destroy him
The last debate he made the statement that he would cut $300 billion from what the government. Spends on pharmaceutical
Mike Wallace pointed out that the government only spends $60 billion on pharmaceutical so how is he going to cut $300 billion from $60 billion Trump tried to pivot and made some real dumb ass statement.
He now is showing what he. Does not know. Hillary will destroy him we must put the best & brightest up that can debate her even then she is going to be a very forcible opponent If we don’t get serious with well thought out studied responses to the democraticas they are going to hand us our asses in novemember We can not insult our way to the White House Vet our candidates know what the hell you talking about?? Don’t come with the boogie man is going to get you crap!! Read read read. Google Google Talk to different people
That can at least form a sentence Cruz is probably our best chance
Hillary is an idiot and a fool. She needs to park her butt in Arkansas and rock and leave good American people alone. She is a disgrace to our country.
Onward and upward!
Thats why we must do our best to keep Hillary OUT of office. She deserves prison time but, I doubt they will let her have it. Heavens she running for political office!
Heard on the radio…If Hillary gets in, the interns will be able to outrun Bill. It will be his playpen, not the people’s house. He trashed it before, he’ll trash it again. And she doesn’t care. It’s all about control, taking from hard-working American who pay
their share of tax’s now, and have nothing to show for it. Are we really going to have another socialite in the people’s house?
Mr. Trump will bring order, class, respect and honor. He’s a businessman. The liberal tree-huggers don’t get. it.

Please tell me what is Trump going to do ?? convince me. Give me some answers Just give me one issue he has & how is he going to implement it??
Un-friggin-real… A fatal shooting and tragedy is immediately spun Trumpeters as a reason to vote for Trump. I originally supported Trump but his immature actions in the debates and the immature statements by his supporters has caused me to now support Cruz.
This obsessive adulation by Trumpsters is reminiscent of Obama supporters these past 8 years. We can see how well that worked out. Trump supporters are not Republicans or Conservatives. They are in disaffected voters whose beliefs have been ignored by both parties for years. I understand their anger but I caution them not to blindly support a candidate because they believe he will in turn be who they think he will be. They need to honestly vet a candidate and find a candidate that has historically supported the same things they believe in..Trumps history shows he has supported anything and everything that has benefitted HIM and Only HIM. You shall know a man by the company he keeps and the history of his actions.
Thanks for your comment. Finally someone with the truth.
I kinda thought Rubio and Cruz were showing a lot of immaturity during the debates and at their rallies. I can’t get behind Cruz because he advocated for doubling immigrants coming into our country and raising the H-1B visas for foreign workers by 500%. There is a video on YouTube with him saying it. Rubio sweats under zero pressure and resorts to repeating talking points over and over. I can’t see him negotiating with N. Korea, Iran or Putin. He already proved where he stands on illegal immigration. I live in Texas and with our porous borders all kinds of riffraff are coming through here.
Well said spike !! I feel the same way because I have studied my ass off Trump would be way worse than Obama.
Obama told everyone exactly what he was going to do. Very well read very Straight forward on his plans and was still voted in
Trump has told no one any thing if he does he is very very vague. Or he rambles on & on saying. Nothing how in the hell are people not catching on to this guy ?.? He is mentally lazy and has no plans. And has never studied the issues facing our nation
we don’t need to lose any.more of our constitutional rights
Ok
Where is my post?????
