Just goes to show that "ordinary" gun-toters aren't the only ones who resemble Goofus McDuck sometimes...

Moments from area's hall of shame
Lucky you. At this very moment, you are holding in your hands the newest installment of an annual tradition that dates all the way back to the previous century!
OK, tradition ain't what it used to be, at least in the newspaper biz. But 'tis the season to be thankful for things large and small.
The small favor we bestow upon you today is the annual presentation of the Bobby Awards.
Please hold your applause until all of the winners are announced. Thank you.
Unlike those pompous national awards -- the Emmys, the Grammys, the Tonys -- the Bobbys are close to home. They recognize the best and the worst, the goofiest and the dumbest, the oddest and most embarrassing events our region had to offer.
Official disclaimer: The Bobbies are not only highly subjective but random, biased, slanted, insensitive and unfair. And therein lies their beauty.
BARNEY FIFE AWARD: One fine morning in March, in the little town of Perrysville, near Ashland, the chief of police walks into the police garage and accidentally fires a shot through the windshield of his cruiser. But that's the least of it. To cover his mess, he drives out to a country road and fakes a traffic stop. While reporting the stop over the radio, he fires a shot into the ground to make the dispatcher think somebody is shooting at him. Then he accidentally hits the magazine button on his gun and his ammo drops out. As he tries to reload, he accidentally shoots himself in the leg. Mayberry lives.
