Not a good guy, not a bad guy, just another dumb guy with a gun.

This is gun idiocy on steroids.

And he has the papers to prove it.

Well, he once misjudged a fly ball out in right field during a game. It bounced off his head and went into the stands for a home run.

At least we can give the headline writer a little credit for a compelling double entendre. Marginally better than the usual click-bait.

Missed that. Now I see why his fiancee was so concerned.

Hey, dumbass…UNLOAD the gun BEFORE cleaning it…

Would’ve been funnier if he’d blown his nuts off, but the steroids already did that.

Hey Canseco! Here’s my middle finger, you stupid bastard, and you can see it’s just fine. Yours would be too if you’d checked the chamber like you’re supposed to, idiot.

Why buy his story and start the typical you-idiot-unload-the-thing tirade?

Aren’t a lot of these ‘I was cleaning my gun’ accidents really failed suicide attempts?

If you are not bright enough to check for any bullets being in the gun before cleaning it, then you are not responsible enough to own a gun. His fiancee should feel very lucky that the idiot shot his finger and not her.

Bleeding from the eyes again. Makes it hard to tell if there’s a bullet in the chamber.

Yes, but then to conclude that you that you’d have to completely buy his story that he was cleaning the gun and not actually trying to hurt himself intentionally and now lying about it.

Mirakuru?

Ya’ know Jose?
I’m sorry it happened.
No. Not the finger-blown-off thing.
That I laughed my ass off when I read the headline.

At least for now?
Having a flyball
bounce off the top of your head
and over the fence
for a homerun
is NOT the silliest thing
you’ve ever had happen to you!

Seriously, I’d almost always wince reading about an injury to a hand or eye. It’s just a terrible thing. But I can’t be empathetic when you’re that careless with a weapon. Just yesterday we read about a three-year-old dying for exactly the same reason.
