Ohio man accidentally shoots himself during dentist appointment

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.

When he gets the bill, he will intentionally shoot himself.

Had a root canal during the ‘08 Primaries.

When the Dentist asked me if I was ready for it, I told him that after waking up to hear Hillary screeching on the news, nothing he could throw at me could could compare to that kind of pain and discomfort.

Heard chuckles from the other cubicles and even got a laugh from his Hillary supporting assistant.

I guess he is just an old guy who thought he needed to carry everywhere he goes. But sure he learned a lesson he didn’t plan on at the ripe old age of 72!!

Glad no one was killed!!!

“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.”

Sorry you had a bad experience. I am blessed to have the best dentist and so glad I found him! Going for dental work is never a fun thing, but not so bad when you have a great dentist working on you!
