A Potter Valley woman wounded herself and a man July 3 while attempting to kill mice with a .44-caliber Magnum revolver, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.
The woman, 43, had drawn the gun from a holster under her left arm, intending to shoot mice scurrying across the floor of a small travel trailer on Highway 20 in Potter Valley, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The revolver instead slipped from her hand and fired as it struck the floor, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The bullet went through the woman's right kneecap, then hit keys hanging on the belt loop of a 42-year-old man in the trailer, officials said. The bullet glanced off the keys and tore a hole in the man's pants.
The bullet grazed the man's groin before stopping in his coin pocket, where it was recovered for evidence, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The names of the shooting victims were not released.

Wow, you can't make this up. Luckily for them "Dumb luck" played a part in that.

Been a long time since I had that much to drink. Love to see that police report.

Gives a whole new meaning to "mouse gun".

My Dad taught me to always select the right tool for the job. Obviously no one gave her that advice.

Good grief! If she uses a .44 mag on mice, I'd hate to see what she would use to exterminate rats. :o

Sure hope she had enough sense to use a 340 gr.LFN +P in that there revolver. Never know when those dam mice will turn and charge ;)

I wonder if it was her first or sixth (or ?) shot that got her?

She read Tom's thread about that small "plinker", and figured it only made since.

Usually, it only takes me 3 shots to do stupid things. Sometimes, the whole 1/2 pint. Lik now.

I just reded (is that a real word?) the parts I found funny. There was no actual mention of the ARI (alchol related incident). Several people beat me to the coin pocket/purse joke... Damn! There is just too much cliche' with this one. .44 Mag, Trailer, mice, coin pocket. Another quick observation: after hitting the man's coin pocket, the bullet fragment had to be "recovered". Any volunteers?
Also in related news: The next door neighbor recently purchased a surplus Bofors 40 mm gun to take care of the flies and mosquitos in the area.

The government requires you to obtain a driver's license, business license, marriage license, etc., but they allow anyone to have children. Don't impose more restrictions on firearms (which is the direction this will probably go)... just make it illegal for stupid people to breed. ;D

I'll second that nomination !

Thank you! Thank you! I will have to respectfully decline, however. If my ideas were ever implemented, I would never again be allowed to do the "horizontal bop". At least not without a preemptive vasectomy. :D

But Poohbah is different from President and you get a cooler hat than the Pope!
