Fun With Guns, Scottish Style

Angus Monk, in his 50s, is understood to have fired his rifle at vermin in the outdoor loo when a bullet rebounded and hit him in the chest.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

  1. Ricocheted off of what? Petrified **it?

  2. Who takes a rifle to the outhouse?

    Also makes me wonder what it ‘rebounded’ from. The only outhouse I ever saw that a bullet might bounce off of was the ‘dollar-a-brick-shanty’ built by a rich mine owner in Colorado back in the 1800s.

  3. I checked to see what Southern state this happened in. That would be Scotland.

  5. How is that an accident? Randomly shooting at moving targets within an enclosed space, probably no bigger than the average outhouse of 4’x 4′, will pretty much guarantee someone, besides vermin, will get hit with a bullet. That’s as much of an accident as deliberately storing highly explosive chemicals (540,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate and 110,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia) in one location with no safety procedures – that will pretty much guarantee an explosion will (and did) occur.

  6. A clear nominee for a Darwin Award. (And the article had a clear sign that it wasn’t in the US… who else calls a bathroom a loo?)

    But one less idiot in the world doesn’t help… the aggregate IQ still remains the same.

  7. Maggie, if this was in Scotland, quite possibly the outhouse was made of stone, since parts of Scotland have a lot more rocks than trees.

    What a great place for a ricochet. If the bullet itself didn’t take him out, the e. coli on the slug would have a chance of giving him a fatal infection.

  9. Many times I have heard the expression, “Crazier than a $hithouse rat” now it all makes sense, Sorry Momma, my grandmother used to say that expression all the time.

    Looks like it’s from The Sun. It happened on the remote island of Benbecula. The bullet probably ricocheted off the floor of the loo. Probably a day’s trip to get some rat poison.

    He should have aimed higher and missed himself.
