Virginia Man Shoots Self ‘Accidentally’ While Driving

Posted by | October 4, 2014 14:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


A Virginia man is in the hospital after he shot himself “accidentally”  in the hand while driving in Portsmouth.

According to police,  the unidentified man shot himself while sitting at a traffic light, ABC 13 reports.

While at the traffic light near a MacDonald’s restaurant, the man was attempting to clean his revolver when the gun went off, shooting himself in the hand.

When officers arrived on the scene, they discovered a man inside a silver Honda with a gunshot wound to his hand.

But, according to WAVY,  the  man told police he was moving his gun while in his vehicle as he waited at a stoplight. That’s when he said the firearm went off and struck him in the hand.

The man was taken to a local hospital for treatment,

Detective Misty Holley said the incident is considered completely accidental. Officers have filed no charges against the man. Because that would be holding the gun owner responsible for his actions and we can’t have that.

Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless your intent is to obliterate your target. I wonder if his trigger finer is OK. I hope not. Next time he could kill an innocent person.

    Just glad nobody else was shot. If he wants to clean his gun maybe he should shower with it or run it through the diswasher…

    Hell, I would shoot myself if I intentionally got anywhere near a McDonald’s but I don’t think that’s what was meant

      OT but if you use Chrome browser you can see downvotes with an app available here https://www.google.com/webhp?q=downvote+extension+disqus#q=downvote+extension+disqus

      You might want to share that with some of the posters at MMFA. It might help if people could see the downvotes and know they are actually there and count for moving bad comments down the tree when comments are sorted by best.

      • neworleans878 October 4th, 2014 at 16:14

        Thanks. Added the app, but don’t see a whole lot of down votes. Now that disqus doesn’t show them, I don’t think a lot of people bother to down vote.

          Yeah, you will probably need to share it with some people for it to catch on. Post the link on a couple threads at MMFA and see what happens.

    I just spewed cookie crumbs all over my computer. He was cleaning his gun while stopped for a traffic light?
    The problem that I have with these ammosexuals is that they seem as a group to be way towards the low end of the IQ and common sense scale, and yet they insist on running with scissors when they can barely walk and chew gum at the same time. If they were just a danger to themselves, I wouldn’t care.

    yes, I think this is funny. hahahahaha ! dumbass!

    Time to start charging these gunsterbators with unlawful discharge within city limits.

    • whatthe46 October 4th, 2014 at 16:14

      agreed. and regardless of the excuse.

      • Larry Schmitt October 4th, 2014 at 16:34

        And why don’t you hear about them being charged? Most cities have an ordinance against discharging firearms.

    “clean his revolver”

    Is that another term for “pulling the pud”?

    • StoneyCurtisll October 4th, 2014 at 16:54

      Bingo~!..
      Couldn’t he do that before he left the house?
      Why to some people have to do that sh!t in public..:)

    Just another “good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun?” No, wait.

    Yeah,right, he was “cleaning” his gun, while waiting for the light to change.
    So, what was he REALLY doing, threatening people in other cars with it, or exposing it in front of them? His gun that is.
    Or was he just playing with it while waiting for the light to change. Again, his gun, at least I think so anyway.
    At least he wasn’t doing something really dangerous while driving, like texting someone to say he would be late because he was busy playing with it at a red light. His gun that is, at least I think so.
