Fun With Guns. Clean Up, Aisle Nine Edition
Is that a gun or are you just glad for the low prices?
So, Iowan Christopher William Strube was doing his Sunday afternoon shopping at WalMart when, without provocation, a .45-caliber handgun fired from his pants pocket.
He then finished his shopping and checked out before police arrived to the distinct odor of gun powered.
Store employees and other shoppers reported the gunshot, and police said they smelled gunpowder and found a bullet hole in a basket and several cans of beans.
They also found a .45-caliber bullet in one of the cans of beans.
It is unknown if customers will now be offered Beans and Bullets as a dinner choice.
Thanks to TexasTrailerParkTrash for the heads up.
I wonder if he also shot himself in the habichuelas…
1Like Nugent is fond of saying,you can’t grill, it til you kill it. Grilled,dead beans with lead poisoning,yum,yum. Let me guess,WalMart will take those damaged cans and give them to employees at their food collection for employees sites.
2He looks absolutely normal. It is not normal to do what he did.

3I’ve thought about this a lot… that’s a lie. I’ve chucked about this the past 10 minutes or so. A caliber 45 of any flaver, ACP,, Long Colt etc is just pure overkill for a can of beans. Way too much collateral damage. Need a smaller slower bullet – caliber .32 or .25.
4Yup. With all the rampant crime on the streets of Centerville, Iowa, one just can’t be carrying enough personal protection …
5send him a note on facebook.

No post about bagging that can o’beans? I have some mad taxidermy skills. I can do a nice mount for you. Position the Van Kamps in a threatening pose like a charging grizzly, maybe? What do you think?
Have you perhaps reconsidered the wisdom of letting just about anybody carry a firearm, including all those goofballs who aren’t always careful like you are? Remember that Mom and her little girl you passed in aisle 3? Lucky they were getting steaks instead of beans when you were plinking in aisle 5, huh?
“Guns make you safer”? Tell that to the can of beans.
Of course, they were probably Sharia-brand beans…
7Another reason not to go to Walmart. I don’t even know what happened to our two firearms when we moved to town. I know we never got here with the bullets.
8googled habichuelas. interesting recipe follows this:
Habichuelas con Dulce – Sweet Dominican Beans
9In the Dominican Republic, Lent (called cuaresma) is not complete without a sweet bowl of Habichuelas con Dulce – Dominican Sweet Cream of Beans. There, pureed red kidney beans are cooked with coconut milk and evaporated milk, sweetened with sugar and spiced with cloves and cinnamon to make a thick, creamy dessert. Add little pieces of sweet potato and a handful of raisins for texture; and of course, a few Dominican milk cookies for a final touch.
RepubAnon ur missin the 2 pt. crossover of the chee chee or hummus bean known as El banso con masharrisa.
10Geez Marge Wood,what’s wrong with beef? Eat it as is with hoof and hide and you don’t need to add raisins for texture. 🙂
11There’s a ditty from the musical “Oliver” that can be parodied just for the express use of the parody of a man who would open carry at the Walmart and fortunately (!!!) shoot only a can of beans!
“Beans, glorious beans, hot lead and mustard . . .”
And Marge Wood, I am on a diet and you just shot down my”won’t” power!
12This is the guy who’s also gonna be shopping on that big black Friday shopping day. He’s also gonna be the one who wants that same big screen teevee, or the X-Box, they have on sale, that you may want. So, now you gotta worry. How bad do you really want that teevee, or X-Box, or whatever? Bad enough to end up like that can of beans?
Who the heck thought it was such a grand idea, that people be allowed to carry loaded guns….into….just about anyplace?
And, are they yet getting treatment for their mental illness?
Just curious.
13I’ve had my gun go off in my pants without provocation before, but not since middle school.
14So, beans were in season?
15Reminds me of the bean scene from “Blazing Saddles”. The bullets weren’t on the list of ingredients then either.
16@ Miemaw: No. They can’t just “carry it anyplace”. WalMart or any store or mall is not public property. It is private property with public accommodation. BIG difference.
These idiots don’t know the law and we idiots allow them to get away with it. If you or anyone else sees someone carrying a weapon around, don’t assume they have permission to do it. Call 911, contact mall security, contact store security. If you’re really brave, ask them yourself, “Do you have permission to bring that gun onto private property?”
They don’t own America. Not yet anyway.
17He wasn’t open carrying, was he? Didn’t he have it stuffed in his pants pocket? Like a complete idiot? Anyone who carries a loaded gun in their pants pocket is certifiable.
