Fun With Guns: BarcaLounger Edition
Hello, North Carolina.
Furniture shopping can be far more dangerous than you suspected —
A man accidentally shot himself in the foot Monday afternoon at J&D Furniture Inc. on North Lafayette Street in Shelby, according to Shelby Police at the scene.
The man, an employee of the furniture store, had a gun in his back pocket that went off and the shot hit him in the foot, said Lt. Steven Seate with the Shelby Police Department.
And, trust me, this is not the way you want to make the front page of the newspaper.
Or, maybe it is. I dunno.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
Please tell me that bullet passed through either his left or right gohmert cheek, before entering his foot.
1A piece in his back pocket? How did the dischard miss his rather large rump?
2Maybe it ended up in his foot. (The Victorian expression for gohmert was “the fleshy part of the thigh.”)
I do hope his boss has some words with him about carrying a loaded gun in his pocket while working in the store. If it were me, I’d can his gohmert. He’s lucky he’s the only one he shot.
3How about we have a national Bring Your Gun to Word Day?All of the nimrods can pack their heat in the offices, stores, schools or job sites. The saner ones among us can play hooky that day for our own survival while a significant portion of the others will do humanity a favor by eliminating themselves from the gene pool.
4Obviously, that should have been “Work” …
5I don’t know much about Victorian expressions, Rhea, but hopefully can think more discreet and safer ways to scratch the gohmerts than the NRA version of the Trap Neuter and Release plan.
6PKM, not sure I was clear about which gohmerts I was referring to. “Fleshy part of the thigh” refers to the extreme upper part of the thigh, the ones we all sit on, next to our back pockets.
Though if we’re voting on what we’d like this fool to have shot off, I’d certainly vote for the ones I think you’re thinking about.
7You were clear, Rhea. Gohmert is such a versatile word. My first reference was to the gohmert cheek beneath his rear pocket of which you wrote.
The second reference was to a new NRA fun with guns neutering program.
8I feel particularly inhospitable toward these cretins today.
There needs to be a wing in the NRA Hall of Shame dedicated to those folks who carelessly shoot themselves in the a$$ because that can’t recall their piece is in their back pocket.
The ones that help remove the ring from the shallow end of the gene pool by offing theirownelves before they reproduce should be enshrined in Darwin’s Hall of Shame, along with an appreciative note of approval in the name of the rest of us.
BUT the ones that carelessly neuter theirownself with a firearm after having reproduced just prove conclusively what ineffective wastes of oxygen they really are. What to do with them becomes the question.
9OK, I am definitely not shopping there! Even if they were giving stuff away!
10We may need to have a new category of advertisement: stores which have had no customers or employees shot and make all of them go through metal detectors.
11Without that info, I’m sticking to internet shopping.
SIGH. Guns do not “go off” by themselves…mechanical parts must be moved in such a way that one little piece can hit another little piece (keeping it simple not for those here but for the gun owners who still keep saying shooting themselves or someone else was an accident because the gun “went off.”)
If your body parts are so situated that they move the mechanical parts so that one little piece hits another specific little piece…then, Mr. Dumbass Employee of the Month…it’s your fault because you let it happen. God did not reach down an extracorporeal finger and pull the trigger. God did not leave a round in the chamber. God did not leave the gun in such a state that bumping into something with your overlarge hiney would release the one little piece that hit the other little piece. You did that. You left a round in the chamber, you either have no safety on that piece or you didn’t have the safety on, and you left it all cocked and ready to go because you’re an idiot, Mr. Dumbass Employee of the Month. Whether you were scratching an itch and pulled the trigger by mistake (“What’s that in my pants? I think I’ll just squeeze it like a tick…” or some other stupid action doesn’t matter…it was you. YOU did it. It’s not the gun’s fault. It’s not God’s fault. It’s not the fault of gay marriage, Obamacare, feminism, or anything but…You really are stupid.
12JJ, it may not be the way someone WANTS to make the front page of the paper, but given a few recent accomplishments:
Gun in rear pants pocket
Gun shoots own foot
It might be the ONLY way some folks will make the front page of the paper.
13Oxygen bandits–my oldest daughter’s derisive term for people who were not as smart as the rest of us…it was highly entertaining to have such smart (as*) aleck children, but as they get older and I get older, I am finding myself getting less and less tolerant, and more and more angry..
14I read the comments on the thread of the Ad that deliberately was misleading, and thought of my mothers deteriating eyesight and since she is a democrat, she might have been misled by that kind of nastiness–I can’t imagine Eisenhower (he’s the last (R) I have respect for) endorsing such an ad and I cannot accept the BS of “both parties do it”. I bought a gun when I was in Ca, took lessons, because my ex threatened my life–he was an MD and could have easily killed me by injecting air into a vein while I was bedridden and asleep (I must use sleeping pills because of my pain levels) but now that I am away from all of that–I have no need of such stupid things as a handgun that is only designed to hurt people–why are targets shaped like humans–my first time out I hit the center of the chest enough that the gun guy couldn’t believe I had never shot before…all that to say that a child is in the emergency room everyday, everyday! somewhere in this country from gunshot wounds and 500 died and 7500 were treated what more do we need to know–we are insane! My grandmother died in a hunting (shotgun) accident, so I think that guns should be restricted to use in well organized militias–and all members of those groups need to be well trained!
Hey, I would like to know if that guy kept his job or did the store can him on the grounds that he was vastly increasing their business insurance premiums.
15This just goes to prove that asses definitely can shoot their own foot and actually do kill people. It’s not the guns fault, it’s the asses fault!!
