Man accidentally shoots self while bowling, police say | Palm Beach County News - WPBF Home

A man accidentally shot himself in the leg while bowling at Jupiter Lanes about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, police said. Witnesses said the man had been carrying a gun in the pocket of his shorts.

Really? Isn't there a stupid shooter law which fines a person and makes them pay for the paramedics who tend to people who have no idea the issue of gun safety? Good thin he didn't shoot some kid on lane 8.

Is he had shot off his other 'weapon' would he qualify for a Darwin award?

Nice twist I am surprised I did not think of that one.

If it prevents reproduction, then yep that would of qualified.
(I think their was a winner for something like that a while ago)

Why is this in the politics forum?

Doesn't he get to go for the spare and try to shoot the other leg?

Why is this in the politics forum?

Anti-gun agenda, anti-NRA agenda's. Where else would it be posted?

Answer provided by another poster:

Because gun control is a political topic.

Anti-gun agenda, anti-NRA agenda's. Where else would it be posted?

I asked a specific question in the OP. Do either of you care to participate or should I expect more criticism over things I never said? Notice I never said anything here about being anti- gun or anti-NRA

Normally I would strike somebody for such a remark, in this case I will spare you.

Any of you young whipper snappers recognize this man? Growing up, he was my hero.

Your idea has merit. I think we should as a nation look into requiring those who consume services be forced to repay the nation for those services if they were consumed based on bad choices. Carrying a loaded pistol in your shorts while bowling is probably a bad choice.

Anyone have other ideas for bad choices that result in the consumption of services?

I remember being in school in the Navy and hearing a gunshot one day outside. Turns out a marine standing guard at the gate shot himself in the leg while practicing his quick draw. He didn't last long as a marine - or a gate guard.

Being unemployed, unwed motherhood, drug addiction, being a politician, there are several more but to list them all would be too tedious. As for the OP's question, I believe that reckless discharge of a firearm is a punishable offense. Didn't Plaxico Burress serve time for shooting himself? His gun may not have been registered ,I cannot remember, perhaps that was the reason he was jailed.

That's what I'm talking about, however I do not want to veer from the gun issue although your idea would make for a good thread. I am not talking about taking guns away but punishing those too stupid to secure their deadly weapons. We send drunk drivers to jail and issue stiff fines even if they don't harm others but because of their potential to harm others, so why should we give somebody who potentially harms others by discharging their weapon in public be given a pass?

Never followed bowling much.

So this could go for STD infected males as well. Good to know.

The late and great Earl Anthony. Most wins in the PBA all time, and all around awesome dude.

I grew up in the Walter Ray Williams, Jr. era. I always found it much more fun to root against Marshal Holman, but that's just me.

Back to the topic . . . Did the guy who shot himself while bowling happen to be in Columbine?

As I said, (in reference to males) they should secure their deadly weapon.
