but mostly inaccurate.

'hey, this shiat happens'

I say old chap, could I trouble you to safeguard my cognac whilst I demonstrate my extraordinary skill with firearms?

schattenteufel: Before the FARK Gun-Nuts & Cop-Haters get in here & start having a fit, allow me to voice my opinion that if you're cleaning & farking around with your gun while drinking & watching TV, I believe that you should be charged.

Yes, even inside his own home.

DIAF Hippy. Yes, in your own home.

B A: I know this is Fark but: He's in his own house, cleaning his pistol, reassembles his pistol, it accidently discharges, HE's wounded; & they arrest him, charge him with illegal discharge of a firearm, & confiscate all his guns? He's going to serve time & lose his firearms because he accidently hurt himself inside his own home? WTF?

Pretty sure the feds have something on the books that prohibits shooting a gun while farked up.

As a gun nut and fat guy I can see the intent behind your thought process and it's a good one. Really. Cleaning your weapons and maintaining them is serious. It shouldn't be taken lightly. That said, that's a bit extreme, you know? I'm not really sure how he needs more punishment than being shot in the leg with a .45.

Usually those unlawful discharge laws are city ordnance type things, and I don't think they're usually a felony. Likely, he'll have to pay a fine, and they also likely only confiscated them to run them to see if any are stolen. With no felony etc, anything not stolen he should be able to get back from the cops. In theory. But hey, in theory I'm awesome.

DIAF Hippy. Yes, in your own home.

Really? How's that help, or do you just feel cooler and more hip? Cause, you know, that's enough of a reason. That's not sarcasm, that's pretty much the only reason I do anything ever. Just, you know, not helpful.

Nope. Be glad that there isn't, since stupid usually pays for its own mistakes in one way or another. And it's usually way more interesting and entertaining, than getting arrested. Like being shot in the leg!

Darwin needs to improve his aim.

OK, I guess I was remembering Oklahoma state law: "It is unlawful to carry or use firearms while under the influence of alcohol, any unprescribed drug, or any prescribed drug that could cause abnormal behavior. "

He wasn't arrested for illegally discharging a firearm, he was arrested for acting like Plaxico Burress.

Which IMO should carry stronger penalties.

I took my a Melior 9mil I got from my father to an indoor range. Loaded it and fired several rounds down range. The gun jammed the spent casing had not kicked out properly and was holding the slide open. I pulled the slide back the spent casing fell to the floor and a fresh round was chambered. I put the safety on set the gun on the counter and bent down to pick up the shell. THE GUN WENT OFF. The recoil sent it off the shelf and over my head then hit the floor by the butt. THE GUN WENT OFF AGAIN. Luckily not hitting any thing but the cinder block wall. I retrieved the weapon and quickly unloaded it. I took hit home cleaned reassembled loaded and put the safety on. Set it on the desk. GUN WENT OFF. sent a bullet through the apartment wall into the neighboring apartment. Luckily nobody was home. Several years later I took that gun to a police buy back in DC and got $150 for it. I hope someone there did not decide it was a nice piece.

Yeah cleaning and loading again was stupid. I was young.

Wow, that's kinda harsh. Here in Kentucky we call that "Saturday".

Yes, he deserves to be charged, because "in his own home" means in an apartment complex with other people living nearby. And for lying. Discharged while assembling it? Give me a break.

It was Hennessey, not Courvoisier

Agreed. Plus why was the gun loaded if he was cleaning it? I don't get that part.

To me it's more like HOW is it loaded while cleaning.... but common sense tells me he cleaned it, went to reload and the fun began....

Bet you that the movie they were watching was "Battlefield Earth"


I would have shot myself too.

Plaxico has learned his lesson and is now teaching kids how to be safe with firearms.

Hence my life.....

I know a guy who accidentally shot his future father-in-law in the kneecap while showing him his LOADED .38...at a gas station. He had a license to carry...which is scary considering the end result. He still married his fiance, his father in law still walks with a limp.

/cool story bro

Didn't Pee Wee Herman do the same thing? At least he got off.

Hey, you train the in-laws right, they don't give you as much trouble later on.

what a pecker

Ah, yeah you're right. My bad. Here's a good Ladies Man quote as penance:

I would probably begin with a very classy first line... something like: say, sweet thang, can I buy you a fish sandwich?

Fine, charge the guy because technically he broke a law even though I completely disagree with this whole situation. But why the fark would they take away other guns? How did these other firearms have anything to do with him accidentally shooting himself in the leg with an easily identifiable handgun? What worthless judge would provide police a warrant for a "crime" such as this? That A-hole judge gave these A-hole cops free reign to completely steal anything they want from a guy who accidentally shot himself.

If bullcarp like this keeps happening I am betting there is going to be many accidental discharges of firearms into cops torso's. Eventually us sheep will grow tired of these A-holes.

I understand the judge told him he didn't have a leg to stand on.

Rootus: Discharged while assembling it? Give me a break.

What? You're not supposed to assemble the gun around a bullet? Is that wrong?

Sarien: Usually those unlawful discharge laws are city ordnance type things, and I don't think they're usually a felony. Likely, he'll have to pay a fine, and they also likely only confiscated them to run them to see if any are stolen. With no felony etc, anything not stolen he should be able to get back from the cops. In theory. But hey, in theory I'm awesome.

Sec. 53-203. Unlawful discharge of firearms. Any person who intentionally, negligently or carelessly discharges any firearm in such a manner as to be likely to cause bodily injury or death to persons or domestic animals, or the wanton destruction of property shall be fined not more than two hundred fifty dollars or imprisoned not more than three months or both.

So, not a felony - but that might be enough for the guy to have his pistol permit revoked. I doubt it would, but the cops tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to firearms offenses here.

Rootus: Yes, he deserves to be charged, because "in his own home" means in an apartment complex with other people living nearby. And for lying. Discharged while assembling it? Give me a break.

Ahhh... you're clearly ignorant of firearms operation, penetration and construction methods. That's a lot of information for a couple of sentences.

Um.... so yes the guy's dumb, but charged for this? I have often had a beer or two while cleaning my gun after a day at the range.

Testing the guns action is part of reassembly and mistake do happen. Out of the hundreds of times I have taken apart and put back together several different firearms I have had an accidental discharge once and that was do to a malfunction in the gun itself.
Its why you cycle rounds through the action to make sure it works correctly after you have put it back together.

The only thing this guy is guilty of it pointing it at his leg and I bet he learned his lesson. All the people that are supporting his charge obviously are lacking knowledge of anything to do with owning a firearm.
