Best Gun Story this Year

[picklesuit]

Okay, I thought long and hard whether to place this in news or guns...

I have not laughed so hard in a long time. The last sentence truly tied together the story.

Great, just what we need, more stories about guns just "going off" when dropped and stupid people doing stupid things with guns.

Aside from that, yeah kinda funny.

That is priceless. You just can't make that kind of shit up.

"Watch this".

I often worry about how easily anyone can obtain a gun. It especially concerns me that so many idiots actually own guns. This story, however, makes me think that maybe stupid people with guns isn't such a bad thing. It provides some great headlines, at the very least

Just when you thought Sarkozy was redeeming the French...

I hope she reproduces...

GUARANTEE she already has more than the national average of water-head babies (read: future criminals) piling up in that trailer... definitely NOT the future cancer-curing docs....

That's sad but it just reinforces the fact that you should NEVER aim at anything you don't intend to kill/hurt.

43 year old woman ... .44 Magnum ... 42 year old man .... inside a trailer ... shot in groin.

Nice grouping. At least she kept it all in the '40's .... The mouse must be laughin' all the way to the cheese factory ...

Maybe instead of a gun control banning all guns we just need to have an IQ test...

That's just sad. Being a new father, I can't begin to imagine if one of our troops shot my son-- accident, or not.

I'm really hoping that it was just a mistake, but I believe the person responsible for it should be discharged at the least.

Just reading this story made me wonder...If you were about to fire a weapon, be it at an enemy, target on the range, or ESPECIALLY noncombatants, wouldn't you check the mag yourself and ensure that the correct ammo was in it? Trusting those you fight next to is fine, but at the end of the day, when you pull that trigger, what comes out of the barrel is your responsibility. Thats just my take on it.
