We’ve got two accidental shootings this week and our usual bumper crop of lunacy and idiocy. Enjoy.

1- Good grief:
KINGSPORT — A woman arrested on driver’s license offenses now faces felony charges, with Kingsport police saying she introduced into jail some atypical contraband: a stolen — and loaded — .22-caliber revolver, via an orifice.
The “orifice” in question is the “crotch” area. Future Darwin Award winner, no doubt.
2- Today in some shootings are more accidental than others: Chattanoogan Myles Stout got 12 years probation for negligently shooting & killing his friend:
Stout pointed a handgun into Compton’s chest while at a friend’s home. He pulled the trigger, firing a single shot that killed Compton.
Stout claimed he didn’t know the gun was loaded.
After his conviction, Stout was sentenced to 12 years on probation and ordered to pay $22,000 in restitution in $150 monthly payments, a total of 12 years worth of payments.
Stout subsequently didn’t pay his restitution, but has since caught up on his payments and gets to stay on probation. Isn’t that nice. Gotta wonder if he weren’t white …

A 10-year-old Memphis girl is in extremely critical condition after she was shot in the head by her 13-year-old brother. Also,
Memphis police say the shooting happened around 1 p.m. Monday while the two children were home alone. WMC Action News 5 has also learned the boy may have initially claimed his sister was injured by a screwdriver, until a gun was found in the back yard.
[…]
There is no information about where the gun came from or if anyone else might be charged.

1- A man was accidentally shot by his son-in-law while turkey hunting near Springfield, just north of Nashville.
2- Four people, including a 4-year-old child, were shot in Nashville when an argument escalated and someone started shooting. Armed society, polite society, etc. etc.
• April 17, 2014:
1- Knoxville area man accidentally shot himself in the leg with a .22 rifle while reaching for a cup of coffee.
2- One person was killed and three people were injured in an explosion at the Rio Ammunition plant in McEwen. Live by the gun, die by the gun.
3- There were three shootings in Nashville on Thursday night. In all, five people, including a four-year-old boy, were shot.

Elvis Presley Enterprises is suing Beretta for an unauthorized Elvis-themed advertising campaign.
Southern Beale 
Re the gun concealed in her body…the jokes on that website are hilarious…”carrying concealed’ has a whole new meaning. The reporter finally had the guts to tell the truth and use the word…VAGINA. Only in Tennessee. Even the gun nuts in Nashville could not make up a law to cover this one!
Armed society, polite society, etc. etc.
Bless your heart.
Anyone know the origin of the 22K/12 year payment plan for killing a buddy? I’m guessing a good brood mare would set ya back more.
What I find endlessly amusing is that Southern Beale finds these gunzstupidents in TN, without having to do more than check news reports.
Meanwhile the gunzloonz who claim that there are as many as THREE MILLION Defensive Gun Uses per year in the U.S. are hard pressed to find any.
Each time a person passes by an “armed” residence or place of business without robbing it counts as a defensive gun use.
“Here is why we need guns: because of the blacks.”
That pretty much says it all.
I’m sitting here in my home typing on the computer, and nowhere in the house is there a weapon more deadly than the hammer in my garage toolbox, or maybe a knife in the wooden kitchen counter rack. (I can’t tell you how unprotected I feel…) It’s like realizing you don’t have a penis, after years of thinking you were a manly man. But wait… (quick check) this definitely qualifies as a penis… so… what’s making me feel so inadequate? Why, I just realized… I don’t have an arsenal! Jeez! Let me run down to a “sportsman’s” store and load up the cart with semi-automatic weaponry! On the way home, I’ll buy a black pick-em-up truck jacked up over knobby wheels!
Seriously, the culture we’ve cultivated that says we ALL HAVE TO HAVE GUNS is the problem, not a symptom of it. Convincing people to take guns out of their homes is almost impossible, unless you ask them to tell you how many times they’ve needed a pistol to defend themselves. Or if they even know anyone who’s needed a firearm for self-defense. Do they even know anyone who KNOWS anyone who’s needed a gun? This is insanity, yet pointing it out sounds crazier than the disorder we’re diagnosing!
Well thank GOD the penis is still intact!
🙂
” But wait… (quick check) this definitely qualifies as a penis”
Is it a six shooter or an autoloader? (democommie ducks)
I can’t wait for Good News Friday.
