True story:
My wife is an ER nurse and the other night she takes a report from the EMS crew single gsw to the foot small caliber patient in police custody.

Seems like good ol boy is out plinking and drinking his beer if choice and making more targets. Well neighbor hears gunshots its late at night so officers respond he's compliant to officers but still has gun in hand all the sudden bang he shots himself in the foot his reason he didn't want to go to the drunk tank so he figured if he shot himself he would go to the hospital. Funny thing is he wasn't doing anything illegal cops were just going to ask him to keep it quiet but really couldn't make him.

Morale of the story always have plenty of paper targets on hand so you don't need to make any targets. ;D ;D

We all know that guns and alcohol don't mix but this ones funny.

When I was working at a gun shop, I knew a younger customer who had a bad habit of drinking while he was shooting in his backyard. Good guy, just not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Turns out, one day he was out shooting his Glock and drinking a few beers. For some reason that I'm not sure HE can even explain, he thought it necessary to disassemble his 17 while he was on the toilet. He sat down, dropped the mag, and squeezed the trigger. BOOM.......moron shot off half of his left index finger. Lucky for him, in his position at the moment, it was JUST his finger, idiot.

While the whole alcohol & firearms issue made me pretty upset, I just couldn't help but laugh. After his brother had told me what he had done, he got a new nickname. The next time he came in, I pointed at him and started singing "Glockfinger" to the tune of the James Bond "Goldfinger"......that was 15 years ago, and I see him every now and again...and yep, people still call him that.
