Fun With Guns: Candidate Challenges Self to Duel. Loses.
Indiana.
Local police chief David Counceller is running for Fayette County sheriff. He’s a Republican so his campaign kick-off included a trip to the gun store.
Counceller’s 40-caliber Glock handgun accidentally discharged Saturday afternoon while he was at Wullf’s Gun Shop. Counceller, who was off-duty at the time, said he’d been examining a handgun similar to the one he carries.
Counceller said he drove himself to the hospital for treatment of the flesh wound on his upper, right thigh. Nurses thought the chief was joking when he told them he’d shot himself, Counceller said.
This is an unusual happenstance. Republicans usually shoot themselves in the foot.
Thanks to BJ and Cheryl for the heads up.
