Whoa....guns are dangerous! :shock:

Actually, almost any object can be dangerous and lead to maiming or even death. I just heard that Liam Neeson's wife was killed by a fall on, of all things, snow.........

So, be careful with anything involving snow, too. Skiing, snow boarding, sledding and all other related activites dealing with snow...........

?!? Anyone else thing there's something just not right about the wound in those pix (other than the big gaping hole in the fool's foot that is)?

It looks way too clean & unswollen for such extensive damage, and judging by the background he's not in a hospital. Looks like a cleaned wound on a corpse or something.

It was most likely after visiting the doctor to have it cleaned up. My dad cut a chunk out of his thumb when he was using a table saw and they had to wait to stitch/recreate part of his thumb.

It doesn't look weird to me.
I had a toe amputated two months ago and the wound area had a similar appearance to that shown as in the meat and bone was exposed with no bleeding. There was not enough uninfected skin (Staph infection) available to cover the area. The skin is growing back to cover the of the amputation.

Looks about right to me. It looks to be several days after the incident since there is no gunpowder residue on it and looks to be healing. When my father had open heart surgery they had to leave his wound open and let it heal from the inside due to infection. Probably the same on this.

Oh-my-gawd!

You are a heinous k-i-l-l-e-r!!!!

Hmmm, this once again PROVES that a person DOES NOT NEED AN EVIL GUN in order to murder people! Most people apparently use MUSHROOMS!

Ergo, we should have (and carry)as many guns as possible! :D

P.S. And the NRA is pathetic!

If someone (like FMCDH) ever approaches you with one of these....YOU ARE REASONABLE TO FEAR SEVERE BODILY INJURY or even DEATH!

Remember,the Tueller drill APPLIES TO MUSHROOMS TOO!!!

Itis common for trap shooters using a break open shotgun (single or double barrel) to rest the open gun on their toe. While the gun is open it cannot go off. Pulling the trigger will do nothing because the gun is open and the shell is not in contact with the receiver or near the firing pin. If the shell were to accidental explode (go off) due to static electricity, lightening strike or some other unknown phenomenon better the toe than in the pocket.

The problem is when shooters try to emulate this with their automatic or pump shotguns. A shell in a pump gun resting on your toe is trouble waiting to happen. It's kind of like carrying a forty five semiautomatic pistol. Some you carry cocked and locked. Some you don't. The person carrying the gun should know the difference.
