Fun With Guns: It’s Texas, Y’all Edition
It’s hot in Texas so water gun fights are a popular activity. Well, up until now …
A water gun fight was winding down when one of the participants caught himself a case of bald-butt ignorant.
“The man went over there to his car to get his dry clothes and he must have had the gun so he started playing with it and tried to do this and I thought he probably had it on safety and he accidentally shot the girl in her collar bone area,” neighbor Micah Stewart explained.
The 15 year old girl was shot through the collarbone. She’ll recover. She’ll be mad enough to eat nails, but she’ll recover.
Here’s the icing on the cake.
Although deputy constables questioned the shooter, it was not immediately clear if he would be charged.
Of course not. Dumb is not only legal in Texas, it’s encouraged.
Thanks to Paul for the heads up.
The NRA will no doubt make a statement supporting the right of teenagers to concealed carry. Where oh where was the Good Guy with a gun.
1Just hope the girl has someone who can lodge lawsuit for her.
2So what heinous act did the 15 year old perpetrate that justifies a close range collarbone shot? It better be worse that impure thoughts on a steamboat landing or aggravated gawking.
3If a man was swatting at flies in the air with a tire iron near a 15 year old girl, and accidentally hit her so hard she had to be hospitalized, would he be charged with assault? Should he have known better? Should he realize he was close enough to the girl that he might reasonably expect he might hit her?
What about the distance a bullet can travel, is there a reasonable expectation that the owner of the bullet should know who or what is in it’s range?
4There’s that old “negligence” thingy rearing its ugly head once again. Dumb may be legal in Texas, but willful negligence is not.
5He should be charged.
It’s all fun and games, until someone gets shot.Boy, he sure rained on everyone’s fun in the sun
6Long ago we used to say that someone dumb was “Thick As A Brick”. I believe this fellow would compare favorably to one of an Egyptian pyramid’s blocks.

Don’t know how that stray “e” got in there. Sorry aboot that.

Nevermind f’ing autokorrect.
10Well, it was her fault. An American has the right to shoot off a gun anytime, anywhere. If she got in front of it, too bad for her.
11Pardon my ignorance. I thought water guns shot out water. What kind of water gun shoots bullets? Doesn’t that make it a real kill you kind of gun? Could someone please explain this to me. I don’t want to get killed at the pool in a water gun fight.
12Just an aside:
Ted Cruz is from Texas.
Ted Cruz wants to ban dildos [sorry Momma.]
Ted Cruz does not want to ban guns.
When was the last time someone was seriously harmed/killed with a dildo, please?
13Cindy D, I think water guns weren’t enough for Bozo, who had to go play with a bullet gun.
14When dildos are outlawed, only outlaws will have dildos. I know that makes no sense, but neither does the original.
