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. (more...) Title: Re: When all you have is a shotgun, everything looks like a ...

Now, why would he use a shotgun?!? :'( He obviously failed to learn that you should only use the proper tool for the job or how to treat a gun. :sad3: Title: Re: When all you have is a shotgun, everything looks like a ... Post by: stegerman on November 12, 2007, 06:19:53 PM Been there, done that!
