Fun With Guns: Big Butt Blaster Edition
We want his name, dammit, his name!
So a guy goes to a Home Depot near Detroit. This is his story and he’s sticking to it.
Police say the 32-year-old Green Oak Township man, who was not named, was apparently reaching into his pocket for his wallet when he inadvertently grabbed his pistol and a shot fired, striking him in the buttocks.
The man was treated for minor injuries at a nearby hospital. No one else was injured.
Police say the man had a license to carry the concealed weapon and no charges will be filed.
Because this is America and you can shoot yourself in the ass all you want to. Because … freedom.
Thanks to Zyxomma for the heads up.
Some people have a strange idea of entertainment.
1And Benghazi!
It is my understanding the paramedics asked him if he wanted some Benghazi with that, but I might have been mistaken.
2Lived in Detroit for too many years. Not surprised.
Minor injuries? Really? Does this mean he had a minor butt?
3How big an ass do you have that you have a back pocket that big to carry a pistol – seriously?
4I’m getting scared to go to any store, and I will not go to WalMart or McDonald’s. I guess it’s just as well I’ve never liked either place. I don’t want lead poisoning with my food or anything else I buy.
5The more concealed weapons permits handed out without requiring proper training, the more we’ll see these types of negligent firearm handling. Sooner or later, one of these loons is going to kill someone by negligently handling their firearm. Will the police just say it was an “accident?”
P.S.: You know he was carrying the weapon with a round in the chamber and the safety off… just to be ready in case he saw someone wearing a hoodie and playing loud music…
6So was it a “good man” with a gun or a “bad man” with a gun? Personally I think it was a “Stupid man” with a gun.
7Guy was lucky. Grazed his ass but must have just have missed his head.
8I’ve posted this before, but (at least to me) it’s still funny, and it’s certainly appropriate.

9OMG Rhea – I’m laughing so much I’m crying
10Me, too – that bears repeating.
11So…. the paramedics patched up his butt. The police gave him his gun back with a “have a nice day… and try not to let this happen again?”
Just wondering. How stupid is too stupid to own and carry a gun?
Maybe there is no such stupid….. because..The NRA,… Second Amendment,…. and freedom.(to shoot yourself)….and all…..
12Thanks Rhea–I bookmarked it this time…I think I’ll post it on Facebook…stupid is giving these people too much credit…and all the words that are no longer used for the mentally disabled are not quite right either, cretin, moron, idiot, there’s a scale involved and the right to shoot yourself or be armed for no reason is off any scale—the so called “militias” at Bundy ranch were not militias, they were a sick joke.
13I told my daughter (whose husband hunts–so she was all “Gun rights” until she read it) to read the 2nd amendment she came back and apologized–these dopes hear and see what they want to see, reading comprehension is beyond them–and Benghazi!
Too bad he wasn’t carrying it his front pocket. 🙂
14Another Home Depot DIY project: A$$phalt.
15So if you are speeding and careless and wreck your car—even though you have a license you will be cited. . . . .
But if you carry a gun and are careless and shoot yourself—you won’t be cited if you have a license?
Crazy—-Beam me up Scotty.
16Thanks for that video, Rhea.
17He sounds like a man who would need two creases back there.
18Again, we need to be pushing the idea of “responsibility” for gun owners. Cases like this need to be charged! It’s a lot easier to get people to agree that these guys are stupid than to agree on what constitutes an “assault rifle”. Since everybody thinks they are a responsible gun owner, they will agree to increased penalties for stupid ones.
19Freedom to carry because. .. Darwin.
20As I understand the workings of pistols, for most of these ‘accidents’ to occur, the person must have a loaded, cocked gun.
Not just a gun, not just a loaded gun, but a loaded, cocked, gun.
Try it sometime: throw, drop, stamp on an uncoked pitol. Hard to make it go off, lot of force and specific movements required. But cocked gun? Different story entirely. The hammer or pin is already cocked against the spring, and ready to fire with any disturbance of the trigger.
They are carrying loaded, cocked guns. That’s really stupid, and asking for an ‘accident’.
21This, the cocked gun, is so they will be ready to fire without the fraction of a second required to cock the hammer (or pin) by pulling the trigger through it’s full stroke.
