Fun With Guns
Let’s trot over to Maricopa County, Arizona, home of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and, apparently, a whole of other wacky people.
Yep, the details are that he was adjusting his semiautomatic handgun, that was being held in his waistband, started to slip.
The gun, which was not in a holster, discharged as he attempted to reposition it, the man told cops.
The Arizona Republic reported when police officers responded to the gun shot the man was found in the meat section of the Walmart store with “survivable injuries.”
Officers said they filed a report for the unlawful discharge of a firearm but it was believed to be accidental.
In the meat section. Rarely is that level of perfection ever seen in a Walmart.
Thanks to Debbo for the heads up.
“Surviveable” may be in the eye of the beholder. Like John Wayne Bobbit this guy is going to have to answer some humiliating questions for the rest of his life any time he wants to get busy with another human being.
1Does anyone keep track of the number of self inflicted gunshot wounds? Is that part of what GOPs are trying to dismiss by not allowing federal funding of firearms violence?
2Dying of embarrassment…
He’s quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger than a pin point he’s number one. (apologies to Irving Berlin)

Well, if he’s a Drumpf voter, there may be no Bobbit scenario because there was nothing much to hit…
4Ok, to start with, IMHO, wearing sweat pants anywhere but the gym should be grounds for euthanasia, but that’s just me. But wearing a gun in the waistband of said sweatpants should be grounds for revocation of your license to carry. I’d like to say, “what moron thinks this is a good idea?” But obviously there are way too many morons running loose in the world.
5Another steely-eyed backstop of Justice.
6Lord, son, if you’re determined to carry a gun in the waistband of your sweatpants, put it behind your back. There’s less valuable real estate back there. Stupid people be stupid.
7Instant Darwin Award winner! MAGA!
Ouch
Served hisself up a take out (the) ‘chorizo con huevitos’ taco order with one trigger pull.
Then in the “Meat” section of Wally no less. A damned good “shoot”.
And “survivable injuries.”, well, for most Rethugs that’s A-OK; usually a meaningless difference for those pindicked bugfockers.

8“Winners of the award, in general, either are dead or have become unable to use their sexual organs.”
Ouch! In addition to a felony level of st00pid, this moron has to go through life as having had his possibly neutering injuries described as “survivable injuries.” In other words, tiny. How tiny? No so anyone would notice.
Choices, choices, choices … pick 2 out of 3 … gun, holster, or ammunition.
9Further proof—not that any was needed—that semi-auto pistols are too mechanically complex for a considerable portion of the gun-toting public. I’m betting the pistol involved in this incident was one of those swell numbers with no safety devices whatsoever; just a round in the chamber, ready to go off when the slightest amount of dumbass was applied.
10It’s not just that this pinhead (apologies to Zippy the Pinhead) had his pistol tucked in his waistband, the idiot had a round in the chamber. Who was his firearms instructor, Barney Fife?
11I can’t imagine an everyday carry firearm that is compatible with loosey-goosey sweat pants. Pass.
12@Bob Boland #11
Not even Barney Fife was stupid enough to wear sweatpants while carrying a gun. This man shouldn’t breed…
13Seems to me the meatless aisle would have been more appropriate, or maybe the meat insecure.
14The gene pool just improved.
15“Shooting himself in the meat aisle” will enter the language as a euphemism like “walking the Appalachian trail.” (“Billy Bob shot himself in the meat aisle. Second time, the dumb sumbitch.”)
16He shot his dick off? So much for self-defense.
17It strikes me upon second reading that perhaps this incident is Darwin-worthy. In my mind the Darwin winner must kill hisownself before reproducing to qualify, but I spose if he survives but natural selection prevails, than maybe Darwin-worthy after all.
Draining the shallow end of the gene pool one dumba$$ at a time.
18Sandridge. I object to the use of “Wally”.
19Leaving aside whether or not my meat section is well-stocked, i can assure you that it is firearm-free.
The Twitterverse is hilarious on this one! Its mostly about being shot in the meat section. Its a scream.
20“Over the years, Walmart has been host to several wince-inducing groin injuries” further down in the article
21Does anyone know, there’s got to be, there just has to be a country and western song along the lines of “Baby, I shot myself in a Walmart, while I accidentally remembered yooouuu.”
22I shot myself in the Walmart, honey,
23It hurts as bad as rememberin’ you,
Now that I’ve lost my meat section,
Our days of romance are through….
I hope the doctors in AZ are good so he doesn’t end up whistling while pissing.
24OMFG! Stop it. Y’all are killin’ me…
25I’ll bet the ‘lectricity went off in Malaria’s ‘meat section’ long ago… nothin’ but a small bit of rotten carrion left.
.
Wally, sry… (WallyWorld is an old one I know)
Surrounded by WalMarts as I am, I never shop there. Now I instinctively know why!
26It isn’t accidental, it is negligent.
27Re:” I shot myself in the Walmart honey …”
28Now THAT’S funny!!!
Linda, you beat me to it
29Maybe “Walmart” will become an anatomical term, as in, “The gun in his waistband slipped and he shot himself in the Walmart.”
30The meat aisle! I’m DED.
