Interview With Sheriff T. Larsen

In an interview with CBS News Correspondent Jim Stewart, Sheriff T. Larsen of Medicine Horse, Mont. talks about when his Remington Model 700 went off. The following is a full transcript of the interview.


Sheriff T. Larsen: "Took it off safety and the gun discharged; without my finger on the trigger."

Larsen: "It isn’t supposed to do that. I think it should be corrected by the company."

Larsen: "The safety is a bad safety and it should be fixed and information should be put out so that everybody that owns a Remington 700 should know the dangers of the gun."

Larsen: " People can die from it and people can get hurt too."
