Apparently Guns DO Kill People.....

2014 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A man driving alone in Tennessee called (911?) to report a health incident...he'd bleed to death from a gunshot wound to the leg, inflicted by his own "licensed to carry" weapon.

Definitely Toss: Too Common
Sorry, but gun-related stupidity is far too common, often due to overconfidence or people treating them like toys instead of weapons. Thanks anyway, and submit again.

Definitely Toss: Too Common
As Candi said. You'll find all sorts of stories in our archives involving people shooting themselves. We even have stories involving police, gun safety instructors, soldiers, etc. shooting themselves. Thanks just the same.
