Boobytrap demonstration
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
A 66 years old man in Margraten (the Netherlands) thought he should protect his garden shed against burglars. Best way to do this (he thought) would be to construct a boobytrap, consisting of some ropes and a shotgun aimed at te door.
Proud of his ingenuity he demonstrated te effectiveness of this device to 2 friends, shooting himself in the abdomen and lower arm. An emergency operation in the Maastricht Academic Hospital prevented his DA.
Police searched his house, and confiscated some more firearms and ammo, and also some odd-15 full-grown mariahuana-plants in the garden.
