At least he didn't buy a real handgun.

Another responsible gun owner.

At least he knew where his gun was at the time.

The bullets, not so much.

I see it as simply some chlorine in the gene pool. We can't have life be too safe.

wrong. throwing rocks would not cause the other person to go into a either run away or kill the other guy to save your life chain of thought. you don't shoot to scare or mame but to kill and if the gun isn't capable of doing it don't use it.

FTFA:A man accidentally shot himself in the head with a gun he thought didn't work, but is expected to recover, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office reported.

Why does everyone here keep saying that he's dead? Unfortunately, Darwin wasn't concentrationg with this one.

this sort of thing wouldnt happen if they repealed gun laws.

First sentence of TFA:
"A man accidentally shot himself in the head with a gun he thought didn't work, but is expected to recover, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office reported."

Florida just may be proof that Darwin was wrong after all. I can find no other explanation for it's continued existance.

I'm a single cynical farkette so i'm really getting a kick etc etc

Why would anyone in their right mind point a gun anywhere near their bodies, let alone their heads? At least he didnt repoduce.

.22 is actually ballistically superior to .25,even when fired from a short barrel.

A .22 CCI "Stinger" at close range to the head would likely kill you.

As far as I am concerned, this incident proves Uncle Darwin - after centuries of idiots pointing things at their heads, the skull is not only thick in all the right places, but its curvature provides sloped armor.

Here's a tip for those of you who, like me, occasionally carry a .25 for various reasons (like, not having your .45 "print" your Sunday suit): Fiocchi FMJ 50gr. Get the box marked "Made in Italy" for a fairly hot loading.

plus since he didn't think it work it was probably old ammo.

Just wait for the return post about the same person testing the sharpness of a knife against his jugular. Then we won't have to worry about it.

We learn two things from this article.

1). When idiots buy guns, things tend to correct themselves

and

2). Anything smaller than a .38 is completely useless in terms of self defense.

Darwin don't get them all the time, I had a friend who got hit by a car playing frisbee on a busy street his whole stomach was slashed open, one year later he shot himself in the hand with a .22, three years later he died of Sickle Cell(or so his family say).

Did you see the one where dude - in the cabin of a small ship - shoots himself in the head with a flare gun?

I am sad to say this was my first thought as well. Do you think Amber Howell is single now? Can anyone dig up pictures. I should send her a message-- I am single, have a job, and have never shot myself.

I get the feeling she'd have to raise her standards for someone with your qualifications.

Try getting a tattoo or two, or perhaps losing a few teeth.

 
Combustion 2008-07-26 05:31:12 PM  
Should I be considered racist since I knew they'd have names like "Dale" and "Amber?" (actually I figured she'd be a "Charity" or "Misty")

 
studleystudstutterson 2008-07-26 05:41:36 PM  
Wow, I actually went to high school with this moron.

Personally, I'm shocked that he's managed to keep himself alive this long. Although, I'm not shocked that he still hasn't moved away from his trailer park.
