Fun With Guns: Sweet Sixteen and Never Been … Oh Damn! Edition
Humble, Texas is just up the road from me and just a bit north of Houston.
They really know how to have birthday parties in Humble.
A Texas girl’s Sweet 16 birthday party over the weekend was soured by her father accidentally shooting himself while playing with a loaded gun.
According to investigators, the father was spinning a gun on his finger when the firearm went off, shooting the man in the stomach during his daughter’s 16th birthday celebration.
So here he is, playing Roy Rogers to impress the kiddos at his daughter’s party, probably while flipping burgers on his barbecue pit that he set up in the driveway when wham! that pistol just up and shot him.
I mean, that there is some dandy party entertainment. It beats the hell outta one of those bounce houses. Years from now those kids will be saying, “Remember that time your Dad bled all over the driveway, flopping around like a fish and hollering cuss words? That was cool.”
Hey, I was right about the barbecue pit being in the driveway. That dude’s got two of them and boy howdy, might as well impress the neighbors instead of showing them off in the privacy of your backyard.
He was rushed to the hospital and his condition is currently unknown.
I wouldn’t worry, this guy would have to sober-up for a day or two to die.
Thanks to Charles for the heads up.

ay, there’s the rub.”
Apologies to Bill S.
1Too bad the projectile hit his ginormous gut. As opposed to say under his jaw. Gut shot prolly is quite painful but in the USofA not likely fatal. Of course he has reproduced so even if the projectile proves fatal, the gene pool has not been cleansed. Too bad.
2Credit where credit is due.
He shot himself.
Not his daughter, her friends, the neighbors…
If the girl ever has a chance for marriage, she better not mention this incident to her beau. Otherwise, as the bride and father of the bride walk down the aisle, the groom will sweat a river wondering, “is that a gun in his pocket, because he’s not glad to see me?”
3Next time maybe hire a magician or a clown. Do not try to provide your own entertainment.
4Exactly why many of us advocate for registration and insurance for weapons as one would insure a vehicle. Let this most recent ‘responsible’ gun owner pay for his own medical treatment and have his level of ‘responsibility’ reflected in the rates he pays. Leave it to the insurance companies to remove butter knives and water pistols from the hands of the irrevocably st00pid.
5Buttermilk Sky, or at least a different type of clown at his next party.
6Reminds me of Irving!

7I am still getting around the idea that it was a 16th birthday party. Shouldn’t daddy have been cooking burgers and watching for underage drinking and such. There is nothing like some jerk who thinks he is a cowboy.
8One of the things I love about Texas is how your manhood is measured by the size of your barbeque smoker. And brisket with a good bark on it is the 8th sacrament….
9Some people should not be allowed to handle anything sharper than a rubber ball. Even then they’d probably try to swallow it.
10Dang, another Darwin Award runnerup.
11A close-in gut shot, likely with an expanding razor sharp petaled-out hollowpoint, could do a lot of damage internally (lots of organs packed in there). May the hospital serve him some ranch beans and cabbage…
I’ll probably go to Hell for laughing at someone’s admittedly self-inflicted pain, but this sure was a fun break from all the shitty political news that rolls downhill at us non-stop!
12@easttxdem
Well, they do say laughter is the best medicine. Maybe not for him though ( :-{p>
13Whaddaya bet that he votes for the NSGOP?
14I’m fairly certain it went down something like this.
15Bubba: Hey Billy Bob, you ain’t gotta hair on yer ass if you don’t show us how you can flip a burger in one hand while spinnin yer 9mm in the other hand.
Billy Bob: Hold my beer.
mb@7, that was my immediate thought:
Well finally Irving got three slugs in the belly
16It was right outside the frontier deli
He was sittin’ there twirling his gun around
And butterfingers Irving gunned himself down
