Man Accidentally Shoots Himself At Drive-Thru
By Wyatt Earp | April 9, 2009
Good Lord, I know people get upset when their favorite fast food joint stops serving breakfast, but shooting yourself is not the answer. Besides, you should wait to shoot yourself after you get the runs a few hours later. I’m just sayin’.
“It’s okay, sir! Put down the gun and we’ll get you some hash browns! If you’d like, we can also get you a personal audience with Grimace!”
RAPID CITY, S.D. – A stop at a fast-food restaurant’s drive-through on Tuesday afternoon led to a trip to the hospital after a man accidentally shot himself in the leg with a pistol. The 24-year-old man was apparently trying to clear the weapon when it went off and hit him in the calf.
Police said the man didn’t need a permit because the gun wasn’t concealed, so he didn’t break any laws. (H/T – AP)
Why the frak was this jackass trying to clear the gun while he was sitting in his vehicle? For cripes’ sake, he could have waited until he got home.
Personally, I’m glad he shot himself. He did more damage than that to the reputation of millions of responsible gun owners in this country with this move.

To bad it was not in the crotch. To help clean up the gene pool.
Wyatt,
I clear my carry pistol(s) every time I have to park outside a prohibitted place that I have to visit.
I will NOT leave a loaded firearm outside of my direct control. Doing so is unacceptable to me, even if it’s locked in my truck.
Yet one more reason to get rid of gun free zones.
That being said, it sounds like this guy is an idiot…

*facepalm* What. A. Dumbass.
Head meet wall. Wall meet head.
CKLUNK.
How long was he in that line that he felt he needed to clean his gun right then?
A woman who held a cup of hot coffee between her legs while she was driving resulted in a judgement against Mickey D’s(if I remember correctly), a passel of warning labels and coffee which was no longer hot.
What will this ND produce, I wonder?
Personally, Iim tired of this sort of thing being labled an “accident.”
He had a loaded gun pointed at his leg and he touched off the trigger. That’s not an accident.
mmmm Sig gun pr0n…
Rick – Amen to that!
Jim – I understand completely, but I assume you would put the car in park and get out of a fast food line first.
Dorkelina – No argument here.
Alan B – There’s duct tape in the corner cupboard.
Doghouse – Well, it was shift change, so . . .
Lergnom – Oh God, don’t say it! Personally, I like the Seinfeld take on that, where Kramer spilled Cafe Latte’ in his lap.
Kaveman – Absolutely correct!
Smite – Heh, heh, you’re welcome.
