Super User fishinfiend Posted July 9, 2008 Super User Posted July 9, 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 of her trailer on Highway 20 in Potter Valley, sheriff's officials said. But she accidentally dropped the gun, which went off as it struck the floor. The bullet went through the woman's kneecap, bounced off the keys sitting on the belt loop of a 42-year-old man in the trailer and grazed the man's groin before ending up in his coin pocket. Authorities did not release the shooting victims' names. The mice escaped the shooting unharmed. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Story is courtesy of Fox news and AP Quote
Max-in-Mn Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 A .44 Mag for mice!?!? Wonder if she was on LSD... ;D Quote
daviscw Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 What was the thinking? The 12 gauge was definitely a better choice for that situation. : Quote

Super User Wayne P. Posted July 10, 2008 Super User Posted July 10, 2008 I have a .44 mag revolver, I can't imagine the noise it makes going off inside a trailer even if using shot loads. Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Hasn't she ever heard of D-Con or a cat? LOL I don't think she can spell either one! Quote
Super User Root beer Posted July 10, 2008 Super User Posted July 10, 2008 She should've used a flame thrower or a bazooka. They always get the mice. Quote
SuskyDude Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 I thought they did backround checks before they sold guns..... I guess she slipped through the system. If I were a reponsible gun owner I wouldn't be laughing about this. This is the the kinda crap that gives the gun control folks more ammo. (Pun intended) Quote

(Pun intended) How do you know she wouldn't pass a background check? Exactly. Background check or not, pass or fail, that's a person who is obviously not wrapped up tight enough to own a gun. Unfortunately, she did get one, and shot herself and someone else. The only silver lining is that she and her friend are still alive. Quote
