Fun With Guns: That’s His Story and He’s Sticking To It Edition
California, where they think safety first!
A 43 year old woman was shot in the shoulder with a .22 caliber handgun by her husband as he was “clearing a handgun for a safety check.”
The woman’s husband, who wasn’t identified, was “very distraught” over the shooting, which detectives have preliminarily determined to be accidental, Lightfoot added.
If he brings a date to her hospital room, I’d rethink this deal.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
Not only is he a lame liar, he’s also a poor shot.
1@daChipster: my take as well. His marksmanship can be improved.
2Did he point the gun at his wife first and then decide to clear it, or did he decide to clear it and then point it at his wife?
3Time for the wife to cut and run.
4Clearing and/or cleaning . . . once upon a time was done in what we now call a man cave. Back then it was an old run down shed in the back of beyond where no female was allowed cuz cleaning yer shootin’ iron was a very special MAN thing. Frankly, with history like that, cleaning or clearing yer gun in the family home and someone ends up getting shot “accidentally”, why I would say that just has to be suspicious!
5If I were her, I’d sharpen a big knife, wait until he was asleep…..
6I’d stick with fresh, warm, homemade cookies for weapons, myself. They are great distractions and never leave holes.
7daChipster’s right, ya’ know.
8Every week the Gun Fail diary on Daily Kos lists all the non-murder gun incidents for the week. You wouldn’t believe how many of them happen when “cleaning” the gun – and not knowing there was a bullet in the chamber. Amazes me every time.
9I don’t know what Marge Wood intends to do with those cookies, but there’s a short story about a woman who clubbed her man to death with a frozen leg of lamb, which she then served to the investigating officer.
10I’m going with Marge Wood on this one. Wonder if hubby has a food allergy?
11Every Responsible Gun Owner (RGO) knows the way you clear your gun is to keep pulling the trigger till it stops poppin’.
