Fun With Guns: Behind Your Back Edition
Tennessee is having all the bad luck.
A good guy with a gun accidentally shot an innocent bystander in the back of the head because … liberty!
The Knox County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after a 34 year old Knoxville woman was accidentally hit in the back of the head by what appears to be a ricocheted bullet Saturday afternoon.
The incident happened at a West Knox County shooting range.
Gwen Schablik, 34, was hit in the back of the head and transported by Rural Metro to UT Medical Center where she is expected to make a full recovery.
Here’s where it happened. You know, where they teach gun safety, but not too well.

I hate to disagree, but it couldn’t have been a good guy with a gun if the victim was shot from behind. As Mal taught us in an episode of “Firefly:”
Simon: I’m trying to put this as delicately as I can… How do I know you won’t kill me in my sleep?
Mal: You don’t know me, son, so let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you’ll be awake. You’ll be facing me, and you’ll be armed.
Simon: Are you always this sentimental?
Mal: I had a good day.
1The good guys in white hats Never shot anyone in the back. That was shameful and cowardly. Therefore, Rick is right. The shooter is a coward.
My question is, what kind of shooting gallery has hard surfaces that cause ricochets? Oh. I followed the link and I get it now. It’s an NRA associated facility. The NRA doesn’t care about safety. They just want more and more scared, ignorant people buying more and more guns.
2Tractors? They recochet bullets pretty good.
3Perhaps they were teaching gun safety with examples of what not to do.
4And somebody in that class has mastered the what not to do chapter spectacularly.
5Brings to mind the old Teresa Brewer song “ricochet romance”:
I don’t want a ricochet romance
I don’t want a ricochet love,
If you’re careless with your “bullets”,
find another turtle dove.
Pardon the parody.
Oh. Of course. Had to happen this way, didn’t it.
6I’m learning the best way to kill someone and get away with it is to bring them to a shooting range. It was accidental; I swear I have no idea how it could have happened. The cops will believe it no questions asked.
