dmarc117 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Man Hurt Using Shotgun to Loosen Lug Nut By Associated Press 8:22 AM CST, November 13, 2007 SOUTHWORTH, Wash. A man trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut blasted the wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in both legs, sheriff's deputies said. The 66-year-old man had been repairing a Lincoln Continental for two weeks at his home northwest of Southworth, about 10 miles southwest of Seattle, and had gotten all but one of the lug nuts off the right rear wheel by Saturday afternoon, Kitsap County Deputy Scott Wilson said. "He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," Wilson said. From about arm's length, the man fired the shotgun at the wheel and was "peppered" in both legs with buckshot and debris, with some injuries as high as his chin, according to a sheriff's office report. "Nobody else was there and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said. The man was taken to Tacoma General Hospital with injuries Wilson described as severe but not life-threatening.

Atlanta Cracker Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 "Nobody else was there and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said. Why would anyone think he was intoxicated anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Why would anyone think he was intoxicated anyway? So he could claim drunkenness instead of stupidity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
