Discussion: Man Accidentally Shoots Himself In Leg In Phoenix Wal-Mart

Discussion for article #222900

The bullets that were used by Gabby Giffords’ assailant were purchased at Walmart.
Fact.

Is the gun OK? Will it live to shoot again? Will it need therapy to shoot again (and is that covrted by the PP-ACA?)? Will it be traded to a new owner - like a dog that bites? Or will it be rewarded for knowing its current owner was half “bad guy with gun” that was shot by the other half “good guy with gun”??

So many important questions, so few guns.

Stand Your Ground against tibia and fibula! Those are pretty foreign-sounding names, aren’t they? If you have Moozlum bones, why they need Second Amendment Remedies!

I must, one more time:

Rest easy, concerned citizen, for the NRA is on the way with a special NRA teddy bear and a Pick-Me-Up bouquet to comfort the discharged firearm and encourage it’s reloading.

It’s way past the time that guns be held responsible for their accidental carelessness. This particular gun should be charged with “reckless endangerment”, a misdemeanor; and points assessed on its “carry” license. Shoot the first one, and the message will spread!

If these weapons want to whine about their 2nd Amendment rights, then they should show us they deserve them!

How do we know, that this gun is even Constitutionally protected American made? It could be an unlicensed alien, which crossed our borders illegally, toted by a 75-lb. Mexican kid with calfs the size of canteloupes!!

HA! Snark approaching Eustace-level.

Gosh! What a tragedy! NOT!!!

If gun-toters carefully manipulated their weapon more often in a proper setting, the trigger would be less sensitive, and such bone-headed discharge problems wouldn’t arise in public encounters.

A well-practiced gun would never go off before it was intentionally aimed at an appropriate target, and the trigger deliberately and slowly pulled. That’s the secret of putting mutiple bullets in a tight circle.

Good thing he had that gun to keep him safe from people with guns. Er, wait…

The man is fortunate that he lives in a state with a strong commitment to the right to carry loaded firearms while shopping for giant jars of pickles.

Had he accidentally shot himself while carrying his gun in a gun-free store, bandits may have been alerted by the gunshot and gathered to prey upon him in his injured state.

Another clear win for the Moar Guns Moar Places campaign.

Clearly the man needed a bigger, more deadly gun.

Why is this asshole carrying a loaded gun into Wal-Mart? Does he think somebody’s going to hijack his pickup truck?
