wayne mak wrote: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060421/...l_gun_survivor the metal content is nails There was a story in Reader's Digest (I think) many years ago about a guy who fired 6 rather large nails into his forehead with a nailgun, also attempting suicide. His wife thought he would become a vegetable from internal bleeding, and so cut his wrists to aid his suicide. The prosecutor had to think on this one a while before deciding not to charge his wife with attempted murder. Another one I heard of was a real accident where a guy fired a 20 d nail up his nose, maybe with a powder-actuated driver, when it bounced off some tough concrete. He had a nosebleed, and thought the nail just hit him on the nose, but was puzzled by why he was never able to find that nail. A year later, when the thing was rusting away, he had pain and they X rayed his head. I would have loved to be there when the doctor showed him the X-ray and asked "you have any idea what THIS is?" And, of course, there's the famous guy who drove a 1" wood auger all the way through his head while falling off a ladder. He uncoupled the drill motor from the auger and drove himself to the hospital, with the shaft of the auger sticking several inches out of his eye socket! I'm sure Wes Craven of horror movie fame would have paid a million $ to have a camera rolling when he walked into the ER! The expression on people's faces must have taken days to go away! Jon |

Friend of Dad's couldn't afford to buy commercial ammunition to shoot groundhogs so was using his .30-.30 Winchester as a muzzle loader; I assume primers in the cartridge, black powder (home made?), plus lead shot or whatever. Through some form of miss adventure, the firming pin was blown through his right eye. After he extracted the firming pin, he walked three miles to his brother's house to ask for a ride to the local doctor's office (20 miles away). While waiting for his brother to get the car from the drive shed, he asked if his SiL could bring out a couple aspirins and a glass of water as he had a headache and didn't want to bleed on her clean floor. Latter he carved out the stock of his rifle in order to shoot right handed using his left eye. This was only one of life's misfortunes to befall this tough individual. Gerry :-)} London, Canada |
