Fun With Guns: I’m Singing the Holster Blues
Arizona gets today’s standing ovation.
Mohave County Sheriff’s deputies said a Kingman man was treated for a gunshot wound Tuesday when he accidentally shot himself while taking off his holstered gun.
The man shot himself in his upper left thigh and was transported to Kingman Regional Medical Center.
Just like the cowboys used to do it.
Sounds to me like either his gun goes off if you jiggle it or he’s a really incompetent belt-taker-off-er. Either way, in no fashion should he and the gun (maybe any gun) be in the same room ever again.
1Apparently not everyone one got the memo about taking your pistole outta its holster and making it safe and putting it some place safe before taking off yer belt, trousers, etc etc. Jeeesh. Rocket science and brain surgery is so much harder than all this.
2The thing in the middle was too small to hit?
3Just like a lot of Texans are getting ready to do.
4Wonder how many FOR SALE signs around Texas are related to the new legislation on firearms.
5More likely the left haunch was to big to miss!!
6Why is it so hard for theses numbnutts to put on the safety and take the bullets out of the chambers. As a matter of fact, why are they locked and loaded in the first place, while undressing, dressing or doing anything that doesn’t require a gun, like going shopping? I know, I know, 2nd amendment. Gawd help us all,
7maryelle, I think their guns are always loaded because they know less about gun safety than I do, and I hate guns. WHEN will this country wise up and at least require some test of competence and sanity for gun ownership, like we do for driving a car?
8I wonder if the guy has health insurance.
9Could it be possible that wingnut’s junk is evolving and shrinking in relation to the number of gun accidents wingnuts have? Would be the prucent thing to do instead of live their lives in fear.
10In the days when many men carried sixguns as tools instead of Masculine Ego Support, it was common to leave the hammer on an empty cylinder in case the gun got jolted, fell out, dropped, etc. Only a professional gunman carried “Six Beans In The Wheel” because only a pro was so aware of himself & his weapon that there would never be an ‘accidental discharge’. Sounds like there are a lot of Drug Store Cowboys out there.
