Bullet causes US man's headache

From CNN: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6246800.stm

I really hope this is a stock photo

Reminds me of the movie I Love You to Death which was also a true story.

Nice picture CNN/BBC...I somehow doubt he was shot in the head by his wife with a .50 BMG round.

Hmm, I guess this is another vote for shot placement.

"Oy, doc I got such a pain!" Probably a .25. He is so boneheaded (evidenced by choice of mate) bullet buried itself under his scalp. Not the first time I've heard that happen. Joe

This happend in my city. here's the latest on it from a local paper..
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/localn...0627slmoylan.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=77

To me this just serves as another example to the sheeple of how "evil and dangerous" those guns are.. Believe me there's tons of them around here.. It's funny though 10 years ago a couple friends and myself where out shooting cans in some woods, when the cops came they didnt give us a hard time but shot with us to "try to show off a little" they gave us some safety tips and went on there way.. During those time we could get the family together on a thanksgiving night and play a "friendly" half drunk game of football on a major road without having to worry about traffic.
This story is the way of the land around here, used to be good people here, nice place to live for poeple like me, but the last ten years have been a nonstop influx of people from certain northeastern cities and from south of here (mainly the miami areas).
Some areas I used to hunt in are now lands that if your caught on is considered felony trespassing, because some rich developer plans to put yet another planned community there. We never used to lock our doors, and had a general safe feeling, but now forget it I dont go to a gas station without some means to defend myself...

Update: It was a .32 that the wife kept under her pillow. The burgler alarm startled her so she shot her husband. Naturally.

The kicker is that both husband and wife are felons so their trouble is just beginning.

Wow we need to make the 50 more power full. It didn't even go through his head. Stock photo used. But was it intentional. Most likely.

 

[Rugerman99]

I think if you got hit with that when you were sleeping I seriously doubt you are ever going wake up.
Don't you just love the way the press misrepresents every thing gun related. I don't know whether to cry or laugh. I agree with pharmer the real bullet was probably a .25

 

[marksman13]

That is one tough bastard!!!

Really, the news media is so far out in left field it seems pointless to even try to get them back in the ball game.

 

[DMK]

e also reportedly told doctors he thought his wife had elbowed him in the head during the night.

Um, don't gunshot wounds to the head usually ...um,... bleed and stuff? Like a lot?

 

[El Tejon]

DMK, usually, guess it depends where. Have had several guys shot in the head (and shoot people in the head), not everyone bled like a stuck pig.

 

[MechAg94]

Considering he was laying down I guess, he could have bled a little and the bleeding stopped by the time he woke up.

 

[camslam]

Not to start an argument, but I think it is hilarious on one front that the guy is shot with a .38 IN THE HEAD and he is doing fine. The article stated he was resting comfortably and the doctors are treating him with anti-clot meds.

That is why for personal defense, the minimum shot I will go with starts with

.4....

I guess the bright side is a .38 is safe around the house with others. (yes I am joking)

Looks like they have changed to a differend stock photo now (tagged as "generic photo of a handgun being fired"). Similarly irrelevant, but not quite so . . . dramatic.
