Sounds like the cop who left the gun in the back seat for his kid to play with is vacationing in Florida............ ::)

Makes you kind of wonder how you can do that, just carrying in a store.
Years ago I knew someone who was practicing cowboy quick draw, he thought it would be faster if he cocked the gun first.  Yup, shot himself in the leg.

Oh, great!  This is just more "ammo" for the non CCW camp to use against those of us who actually use our brains.  I mentioned in a different thread that it would save us a lot of hassle if we just made it illegal for stupid people to breed.  Well... I believe that applies here also.

It is funny you should use the term "nimrod."  Did you know the original meaning of that term is "hunter" after a biblical figure in the book of Genesis?  Only in the late 20th century did the term shift meaning to more of a colloquial term such as blockhead or dunce.  So either way I guess you are correct, if he were hunting legs he would be qualify!
