Let’s go to Target in Hurst, Texas, not far from the Wee Winkie Parade of last week.

Baby, Won’t You Light My Fire got a little edgy yesterday.

An employee at a North Texas Target accidentally shot himself in the hand with a gun dropped by a customer on Wednesday afternoon, police say.

Hurst Police Assistant Chief Steve Niekamp said a shopper with a concealed handgun license brought the .22 caliber revolver into the store at 1400 Precinct Line Road. As he was leaving, the small gun fell out of his pocket without his knowledge.

A store employee who found the gun thought it was a lighter and tested the trigger, shooting himself in the hand, Niekamp said.

Yes, they do make guns that look like lighters.  It’s an easy mistake and an excellent excuse to shoot your kid, too.

Thanks to Sandy for the heads up.
