Woman Shoots Herself While Trying to Kill Mice
Tuesday, July 08, 2008

POTTER VALLEY, Calif. — A Mendocino County woman who was trying to kill mice in her trailer with a gun ended up shooting herself and another person.

The 43-year-old woman pulled out her .44-caliber Magnum revolver after she saw the mice scurrying across the floor...

But she accidentally dropped the gun...The bullet went through the woman's kneecap...and grazed the man's groin...

...The mice escaped the shooting unharmed.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,378142,00.html

What an idiot. Good God. Get mice traps.

My former father-in-law got jollies by taking his .22 pistol to the dump every Friday and blowing away rats. This was before laser pointers, so he affixed a powerful flashlight to his pistol. Wherever the center of the light hit, out to about 50 feet, that's where the round went. Worked best after dark when the rats thought they were safer. He'd see the light reflected from an eye and drill it.

Father-in-law had a circle of admirers at the dump. He'd shoot a rat, some kid would fetch it and they'd line them, nose to tail. First time I saw all this I laughed til my sides hurt. Had something like 23 dead rats all lined up like that, each with a .22 round thru the eye and usually all the way on thru.

I'm thinking Robert Burns could have had a field day with this story. (http://www.robertburns.org/inenglish/extracts.shtml)

Get a cat (or two).

Come to think of it, wouldn't the world be a much happier place if everyone replaced their firearms with cats? In fact, we should replace all weapons with felines. Lions and tigers could replace atomic bombs. Other members of the cat family could replace other types of weapons.

Yes, the world would be a much better place if everyone traded in his or her gun for a fluffy cat.

Imagine a young woman, on the brink of being sexually assaulted, not pulling out a gun but instead pointing her pussy at the rapist.

Wait, that didn't come out right.

A Mendocino County woman who was trying to kill mice in her trailer with a gun ended up shooting herself and another person.

Proof positive that she has every episode of "Married...with Children" on VHS stashed away under her Elvis beer decanter.

I believe Mendocino County is a place where they passed an ordinance a few years instructing local law enforcement to make a low priority out of enforcing marijuana laws. This thread is probably about one of the results of the lax enforcement.

The 43-year-old woman pulled out her .44-caliber Magnum revolver after she saw the mice scurrying across the floor...

I bet there was alcohol involved. Or meth. Or both.

I mean, a .44-caliber Magnum? Overkill much? I bet she uses a 20-pound sledge hammer to kill spiders.

What an idiot. Good God. Get mice traps.

Or buy a Rat Terrier.

Cat.

Well there used to be a guy around here who owned a pet LION.

He got arrested though for it I think.

Much appreciated DtS... that comment put me in mind of a game I have archived but haven't played in a while. Gonna have to reinstall it now and play it again.

For those that have never heard of it, it's called "Postal 2".

The premise is you're just some broke, white trash bum living in a beat up single wide trailer with an ungrateful, nagging, double-wide wife. Waking up on your day off, her shrill voice alerts you that she has a list of chores to do for the day. First on the list, of course, is to go in to the game developing software company where you work to collect your paycheck so you can get the "tampoons" she needs...

Arriving at work, you're confronted with the fact that the pay-check you're picking up is your last one, because you've been fired (They just forgot to tell you about it at the end of the previous day).

With a particularly bad start to a progressively worse day (and all the signs and commotion about Gary Coleman being in town to sign autographs not helping your mood) you return to your "humble abode" to retrieve your pistol. Putting one in the dog for good measure, and blowing up the P.O.S. car that doesn't run (which I might add takes out your trailer thus solving the nagging wife problem) you proceed into town to "share" you're bad day with the prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers, and of course, the ultimate prize, Gary Coleman.

The cats come in to play when you need a silencer for your shot gun. You simply slide the cat onto the end of the barrel (I wont tell you what orifice you use, as I am sure you can guess) and rack a round up. Gun goes boom, kitty looses his mind, and is launched off the end of the shot-gun barrel (no, they did not get so graphic as to leave the barrel of the gun brown after the kitty-launch), and with any luck, the person that pissed you off caught some buck shot to go along with the kitty gray-matter decorating the front of their now soiled shirt.

Yes it's a violent game. No it's not recommended you let your kids play it. But if you feel like letting off some aggression in a way that only a maniacal killing spree can accomplish, and having a few laughs along your merry way to the Bill Clinton Institute For The Criminally Insane... You can't go wrong with a copy of "Postal 2".

Does anyone remember the story I posted on this forum a few years ago about the Indiana coroner who shot himself in the leg while demonstrating "gun safety"? He was up for re-election at the time and won. (He was unopposed and it was too late for the Republicans to slate a candidate against him when it happened.)

His term is up on December 31. He decided not to file for re-election.

Just in case . . . ?

Actually no... getting past Coleman's body guards in the mall and putting a few between his eyes is where you get all the points. :)

[Penguin]

And with Coleman's girth, you should get an extra man and a 5000 point bonus.

Just in case someone comes back to life and tries to eat him.

Don't you watch zombie movies?

Interesting fact: Indiana Code states that the only person in the county who has the legal authority to arrest the Sheriff is the Coroner.
