Should not be allowed to have or handle firearms!! I was at a call this morning where a guy had been shot. As he's lying on the couch, he tells me he shot himself. I asked him what happened and he says he was looking at his 1911 took the magazine out and tossed it on the bed, and it went off hitting him in the stomach with a 230gr hollow point. Now this guy is 6'-3"/ 330lbs, and the bullet didnt exit. As he is being worked on the the fire guys, he tells me this isnt the first time he's shot himself doing almost the same thing. I think some of his story is BS and thers more to the story since he had been fighting with his old lady before being shot. I know some of you are going to complain about this, but if you saw this knucklehead, you too would say he shouldnt be allowed to ever have or handle firearms. By the way he only has three toes on his right foot because thats where he shot himself "the first time"

Your right, some people should never own a gun!
i know,i know,gun control,4th amend,etc.
i think the biggest support the anti gun lobby will have is the unqualified, unregulated, gun buying boom of the last 9 months and the accidents these new gun owners will cause.

i think a person should have to attend/pass the basic nra or similar course before being allowed to own a gun.

Does that look familiar at all or did I loose you?
I seriously doubt that a 45 round going off without being confined as in a chamber would launch a 230 grain bullet fast enough to penetrate much of anything.
I think the round that was in the chamber was the one that went off, not the one in the magazine. The idiot just didn't realize there's no magazine-trigger disconnect and that he shouldn't point it at his stomach and pull the trigger.

My take as well.
just my opinion.

1911?
Still would have to involve a deliberate action, to compress the grip safety,(remember that?) point it his stomach and pull the trigger.
Where'd the bullet hit?
Frontal? I'm callin bs.

Yup. Sounds like he's walkin' 'em in.
i never make typeoos(sic).the billiting of troops is my main concern.
rkba4ever, i think elmer fudd may complain to the moderators.
you may be right,i have only a small sampling,from 1 gun store/large indoor range, but its been scary.
ademdem 1-a should be added to #21,and just repeal the 2nd.

Thank you Clint, with that being said, some people shouldn't leave the house without adult supervision and a football helmet on. We see them everyday. We know who they are. Who's to say some of them don't see us at certain times and wonder what we're doing when we don't have a clue. Everybody knows a little. Some just know a little more than others.
nwcid,
i never make typeoos(sic).the billiting of troops is my main concern.
Still confused. Where did troops come into this and what concern do you have. What does the 4th Amendment have to do with troops if that is what you are trying to say.

Ok I guess I need to clear it up for a couple of you who are trying to picture it and cant seem to adjust the clarity. It was the "gun" that went off not the "magazine"!!! The 1911 didnt appear to be of high quality, so I dont know if it had any function problems or not, that will be determined later.
are u messing with me?
if so u are 1 up.
Others shouldnt have sharp objects,
and a few dont deserve to still be breathing.
As you can see from your story it tends to correct itself.. You dont like the nature of reality? Tuff.
Stupid people get robbed and raped too, so maybe you should step back from your own personal experiences and remember that. They deserve the right to defend themselves...
And whatever you think about regulation being good for people you are wrong because reality isnt a theory.
It is as simple as that.
You are going to be surprised and amazed at the number of stupid people that populate this country.

Kind of like people who argue the Magnesium in the safe struck by lightening theory? [:D]
There are a lot that should not be allowed to breath the same air as you & me. Sounds like he is a prime canidate for the Darwin Awards.
And we aren't even breathing the same air right now![:)]

Yeah some people shouldnt have cars,

What in the heck are you babbling about?? I never said people did not have the right to protect themselves, I merely stated my opinion that some people should not be allowed to have or handle firearms. This bone head shot himself, not once but twice!! Whats next, he shoots himself dead or he ends up shooting an innocent person because he is too brain dead to safely and properly own and handle a firearm?? If he shoots himself then hey no brains no headache, but if he shoots another person because of his idiot behavior then thats unacceptable, unless of course you think this bone heads right to have a firearm is more important than an innocent persons life? That my friend is reality and not a theory. Quit making this more of the "The police are here to take my guns", I was merely passing along an incident from work, some of the sht I see on a daily basis, stuff Im quite sure you dont[;)]
Once again, it seems as if sanctions and/or being held responsible for the commission of a specific "bad-act" gets pushed aside and an inference of firearms restriction on some group or class is veiled in postulation.
I absolutely think that that "boneheads" RKBA is of paramount importance. If said "bonehead" were to have shot someone other than himself, then appropriate punishment would be in order. Of course, it is far easier to simply limit or restrict access or ownership to firearms to "certain people", huh?
The collective speaks.
Government is not authorized to attempt to protect us from ourselves and frankly, was instituted to protect the individual/minority from the "tyranny" of the majority.
How you doing today, Mr. Majority?[8)]
Just so you know, having spent many years working patrol, then in criminal investigations, particularly investigating and supervising persons crimes and robbery-homicide. I haven't seen any such things myself, so your laser-like insight is obviously much more germane than anyone else's.[:)]

I think some of his story is BS and thers more to the story since he had been fighting with his old lady before being shot. I know some of you are going to complain about this, but if you saw this knucklehead, you too would say he shouldnt be allowed to ever have or handle firearms. By the way he only has three toes on his right foot because thats where he shot himself "the first time"
Hell, let's revoke freedom of speech for those who say things that we don't agree with.
Have you ever been involved in a auto accident in which you were at fault? If so we need to permanently revoke your drivers license, since you are unable to keep your vehicle under control and you are a danger not only to yourself but to the public as well.
Did you take time to think before you composed this post, or did you simply type the first thing that came to mind?
Marx,Lenin,Stalin and Hitler would have loved you, they were all about taking people's rights and freedoms away for the "common good" as well.

Wow, so I guess you must know more than everyone else on the subject matter. Like I said before I knew some of "YOU" were going to make more out of this then it was intended for. I gues with all of "YOUR" experience you have never been to a similar type of call and shook your head thinking the same thing. By the way just for your information I too have worked Patrol, Criminal Investigations crimes against persons, homicides, robberies, rapes, child rimes, etc. So please spaer me by thinking you are the only one who has such great insight.

You are obviously another person who cant look at a simple post without crying "Their coming to take my guns away" It said "some people" in which I was meaning this idiot.Tell you what if you are such a bleeding heart for idiots who do things like this, then let them come live with you so you can watch them and teach them how to be "RESPONSIBLE" gun owners. I apologize that so many of you cannot look at posts without finding some form of hidden agenda about gun ownership. Obviously you didnt take the time to really read the post before you said the first thing that came to your mind[;)]
I merely pointed out that I have similar experience and don't see it the way you do.
Why so touchy there pipe?[8)]
