Re: Man hurt using gun to change tyre
 Unfortunately, depending on actual damage to himself, he sounds as if he's still in the gene pool - and so doesn't qualify! |

Re: Man hurt using gun to change tyre
I remember about ten years ago my parents had bought a house on a new estate and they were still building etc, well my nephew had an air rifle so I decided to shoot the hub cap of an old caravan on the site, the shot missed the hub cap and hit the tyre
 thus bouncing the pellet back pretty much along its outward bound trajectory and hit me in the chin and stuck in, although it hurt like mad I was really luck not to lose an eye,  lesson learnt me thinks. |
