In the WTF department, we present this from the Kansas City Star:
Sheesh.
UPDATE: No, I didn't miss the story about the US Air pilot's gun going off in flight, which seems to somehow relate to this. It is true, stories like this go in threes. And yes, I was traveling at the time. On a really big boat, if you must know.
Patsy D. Long, 34, of Deep Water, was pronounced dead early Saturday evening after being shot in the chest with a .22-caliber handgun. Her husband, Ronald Long, fired the shot from the inside of their home after several unsuccessful efforts to punch a hole through the exterior wall using other means.OK, I'm a big advocate of responsible individual weapons ownership. I'm a big advocate of responsible everything, pretty much. But I can't, off the top of my head, think of anything more irresponsible than using a firearm to advance your home improvement projects. Word to the wise home handyman--get a good drill and better drill bits, m'kay? Use The Proper Tool For The Proper Job, as my father would have said.
Sheesh.
