COLUMBUS (WCMH) — A New Carlisle, Ohio man is recovering after accidentally shooting himself during a dentist appointment.
72-year-old James White was under nitrous oxide at New Carlisle Dental Group when he thought he heard his phone ring, went to grab it, but accidentally grabbed his pistol and fired the weapon, sending a bullet through his hand and grazing his stomach.
No one else was injured in the incident.
“If you’re going to be put under nitrous, then you think twice about taking your gun into the dental office,” said a neighbor who lives near the dentist office.
White has his concealed carry permit and the dentist’s office has no signs asking carriers not to bring firearms into the facility.
“Going into a doctor’s office where you might be placed under some kind of medication, you might not want to carry a weapon in there,” said Sgt. Christina Evans-Fisher of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. “Think of your safety and the safety of those around you.”
An employee of the New Carlisle Dental Group said the employees were “shaken up,” but also know it was absolutely an accident.
Whoa. Nearly drilled him.
A good thread for this: Tim Conway as the dentist:

Just one more suicide after learning how high dental bills are
“By Gum! By Cuspid!....the guy didn’t use much wisdom when choosing his gun inlay.
But Ivory sorry he got hurt...hope he’s filling better....and I will certainly continue to root for him.”
Clever.
Bet the dentist, dental assistant and patient are relieved the nitrous tank wasn’t hit in the line of fire too.
what a stupid fool
“The poor dude suffered from concealed caries.”
He deserves a Darwin plaque.
Rule number 6?
:^)
Yep, right before rule #7. Don’t store your ammo next to the wood stove.
It was an incisor job.
WINNAHH!!!!
Maybe he should have left his phone home instead.
Socket to 'em, dude!
Dinner calls, tar tar for now.
Leni
lmao
It happened right after the dentist pulled the last wisdom tooth out
I had a root canal crack and they had to extract piece by piece. I felt like shooting myself. :?)
And it hurt for a week afterward. Worst dental visit of my life.
Putting some teeth into it...
That bites...
