Fun With Guns: Dillo Edition
This should have happened in Texas but it didn’t and that’s a damn shame.
Larry McElroy is 54 years old and decided to shoot his 9mm pistol at an armadillo. As any schoolchild knows armadillos have a semi-bulletproof vest.
The bullet killed the animal, but also ricocheted off of it, hit a fence, went through the back door of his mother-in-law’s mobile home, through a recliner she was sitting in, and into her back.
And the beauty of this story is that Larry’s mother-in-law is gonna live, but only to remind Larry every damn day of his life about that time when he shot her in the back.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
To the NRA: Tell me again how everyone in America should have/carry a gun everywhere they go with no background check, intelligence check or training.
1So, Larry! For the rest of your life and hers you are gonna hear nothing but how you shot her in the back. And ten to one you are going to resent the truth and turn bitter and claim that you are being victimized. Now that is one helluva load of bad psychic debris to be carrying for who knows how many more decades and its gonna be miserable. Shucks, Larry. It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!
2He gets to brag about how macho he is that he killed an armadillo.
3Used to be you could return something that was defective and get your money back. Sure hope Larry’s mother-in-law kept the receipt, but it’s doubtful she’d get much for him. Sounds like he wasn’t worth much from the beginning.
4The bullet “went through the back door of his mother-in-law’s mobile home, through the recliner she was sitting in, and into her back.”
Perfect imagery. Ya can’t make this stuff up.
5Dang,Maryelle. That hurts. 🙂
6Me and my dirty mind….
I miss-read that headline.
Sorry Mama…..
7I can only imagine what ole Larry’s wife is going to say to him for shooting her Mom!! Holy armadillo!!
8I guess Karma has made sure this couple is super fertile so the genes which gave him his “IQ” can go forward, there in the shallow end of the gene pool. Damn!
9If Larry tried to make that shot he couldn’t do it.
Moral: don’t shoot armadillos. What harm was the poor thing doing? Larry sounds like a much bigger drag on the world generally. I hope he doesn’t have any kids.
10The only way to counter a bad armadillo is for mothers in law to have bullet proof vests…..
11I had no idea there are armadillos in Georgia! The things one can learn at the WMDBS …
12I think we’re overlooking the possibility here that the only mistake this guy made was not using higher velocity ammo.
He could be the Rube Goldberg of murder.
Let’s see: angle of incidence equals angle of reflection, so the ‘dillo goes…here and I stand….here. Okay, got it. Bounce off the armadillo, bank off the fence, through the door, through the La-Z-Boy, into Momma…
Nuthin’ but Net!
13So Momma has a cracker son-in-law who likes to shoot armadillos and she lives in a trailer. But where was her gun when she got shot? Someone tell the NRA their not doing thier job here. She should have responded with at least half a magazine from her AK, maybe more because they are related.
14Why would anyone shoot an armadillo anyway? They eat grubs in your garden. Well, and small animals. It’s a mystery.
