Man puts a gun in his mouth to 'see if it was loaded'.

[jakflak]

I'm normally quite proud of Alaska's gun handling laws and general good sense. Until today. Man seriously injured when he puts a gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger to "see if it was loaded." It was.

Darwinism in action.

You can tell by the taste, true story.












Edit: That was sarcasm, just in case.

Can't make this stuff up..What an idiot!!

[leesrt]

Wait, that's not how you check?

[RJDSRT05]

He was right though, that is one way to find out.

[Rush817]

Nothing good could ever come from checking your weapon that way! That might keep someone else from doing it that way after seeing this!!! Nah Someone will prove me wrong!

[StainlessSteve]

smacks of Freddie Prinze doesn't it?

[asullivan]

Hummmm?

Yummy !!!! Trig, You go first!!!

No law in the world will prevent stupid.

[Sheepdog110]

The article mentions that drugs and alcohol are not suspected contributors to this incident. Nope... Just plain old good fashioned stupid. That's drug enough for this young gentleman.

Like the lady who flicked her cigarette down her gas tank to see if it was empty?

My favorite was this person in my class that when the instructor asked, "Where were you aiming and where did your shots land?" they pulled their pistol (loaded with Sim rounds) and pointed AT HIM and said, "here and here"

[safetyallday]

That's one way to thin the herd.

I don't understand. If he wanted to see whether the pistol was loaded, he should have put the barrel in his eye.

I must have missed this expedient clearing method in the academy. It has been said you can't fix stupid.....well this guy made a dam good attempt.
