A man ended up shooting himself and his friend when he tried to unjam a 9mm semi-automatic handgun at a shooting range on Sunday, police in Florida said.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, the men were at the Shoot Straight gun range in Casselberry, Fla. One of them tried to unjam the handgun but accidentally pulled the trigger, shooting himself in the finger, police told the paper. The bullet went through his friend’s thigh and ended up in a nearby wall, police said.
Both men were expected to recover, Sgt. Mark Stein told the newspaper. They were taken to the hospital, Stein said. Neither of their names were released.
A witness quoted by the Sentinel called it “just a case of stupidity.”
All it takes is a smart guy with a gun to stop a stupid guy with a gun.
That case of stupidity must be contagious.
No doubt their next action will be at the “Last Stop” shooting range in AZ.
Stupidity and guns. What could possibly go wrong?
When will there be a public list of stupid gun operators?
