1. Yep, usually you let the cat take care of the mice.
   Buster came round the other day with two prizes, some wild rabbits.
   This reminds me of one of my better friends. He used to shoot walnuts, which his brother had carefully placed between their fingers, at about 30 paces.
   Then they would switch positions.
   Dangerous as all of Hell, but they didn’t lose any fingers either. And no they weren’t drinking either!
   Now that is TRUST.

2. Any gunslick knows it’s not the speed of the draw but where you put your first shot. On the other hand, the tenant now knows not to even think of taking liberties with a drunken female packin’ heat.
   Must also have some damned big mice in Mendicino to need a .44 Magnum.

   Shot dead with a 44,
   No less, no more.”

3. Hell with trust. That’s decent shooting. Stupid though.
   I think it also shows that’s .44 is too much gun for this job.

4. Why was it that Barf Turner popped into my mind while reading this??

5. Hah, Perhaps she was actually aiming at the mouse in his pants!!!
   Makes you think though, sometimes you really do need to give Darwin a chance!!

6. What was she thinking, you need a flamethrower for mice. Everyone knows that.

7. I’m just wondering how they can charge her with “negligent discharge of a firearm” if the gun wasn’t even in her hand when it went off?

8. This group complains about being marginalized, yet feels sufficiently empowered to make this complaint. Can you imagine them appearing in front of town council: “You must leave this unchanged, because i wish to insert my penis in the anus of a strange man. And i like to do it with a lot of different men, so I need a public place to meet them.”
   And the officials fall all over themselves not to be judgmental.

9. Sorry, wrong thread. Sure hope the lady with the gun doesn’t see this and take offence!

10. “The bullet traveled between the man’s pants and his under shorts, grazing his groin area before coming to rest in his coin pocket,”
    And people scoff at the “magic bullet” theory!
    With that kind of luck, the guy should buy a lottery ticket right now!

11. All the Mr Furleys of the world will be wearing those keys on the belt retractable holder thingys with a little more pride today.
    Why is it that being shot by somebody named Debbie Due doesn’t sound too tragic ?

12. I’ve got to give Debbie her due.
    We had an old doctor who told a patient that giving him antibiotics for a cold was like shooting a mouse with a shotgun. Who knew?

13. If the calibre of the weapon is large enough, the problem of disposal of the mouse carcass is solved.

15. Didn’t Dulton promise to close down all those nasty coal fired power plants in Untario ?
    Uh huh . . . but he didn’t because all the enviro hypocrites in Torontuh would go ape shit crazy if they didn’t have the electricity to run their air conditioners.
    Oh so holier than the rest of us. So pure, so clean so environmentally aware.
    So full of crap.

16. Sorry; gotta get technical on this one. Modern revolvers have a interference bar that will not let the hammer fall on the cartridge primer unless the trigger is pulled. (cannot fire if dropped) This revolver is an old model and needs the modification for safety. Was available free from some manufacturers for a while.
    The accidental discharge stories you here is nothing less than carelessness. The first rule of gun safety: finger not on trigger unless gun pointed at target and about to shoot.

17. It reminds me of a story I read years ago about someone who had a few drinks and went out rabbit hunting and managed to shoot his own foot. When asked why he shot his own foot, the man replied “because it moved”.

18. Wow! We are talking Darwin Awards here!

19. Let’s see – drunk, trailer and 44 magnum. What could possibly go wrong.

    I know that’s true (from personal experience) for recent Colt King Cobras but when was this adopted universally on revolvers?

21. Piper; it was done on the Ruger and was available for free for the Blackhawk for a while, about 20 years ago. Don’t know how long it has been standard on S&W. I think the proper term is “transfer bar”. It must be a standard feature on semi-autos by now.
    My point is this: any time you hear “Accidental Discharge” in the MSM, think B*ll S**t.

22. No mice were injured and it escaped unharmed from this unfortunate incident

23. Piper: It was offered as a modification to older Ruger Blackhawks about 20 years ago. Is standard on S&W, and today is on, I’m sure, most DA Semi-autos of legitimate manufacture. I think the proper name is “transfer bar”. I’m not claiming to be an expert here.
    My point was that, when you hear the words: “Accidental Discharge” in the MSM, think: “B*ll S**t.

24. Test

25. no mice were harmed during this shooting

26. gunney99: I seem to remember firing some S&Ws that didn’t have this feature but have no way of knowing how old they were. Never noticed it on my old Sig P226 (mags spring blocked to 5 rounds of course).
    Revolvers are cool that way – you can see exactly how they operate.
