LEHIGH ACRES, FL - A 23-year-old man was taken to the hospital with multiple burn wounds after he accidentally shot himself in the genitals with a flare gun, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies responded to a home in Lehigh Acres Sunday in reference to a medical assistance call.
Upon arrival, 23-year-old Jorge Perez was found with multiple burn wounds and lacerations to his genital area.
Perez told deputies he was playing with a flare gun that was unloaded.
After dry firing the gun a few times, Perez says he then loaded the gun and put it down.
When he picked it up, Perez forgot the gun was loaded and fired it at the ground.
Perez told deputies the flare round struck the floor and ricocheted into his genital area.
Perez was taken to the hospital for his injuries.
Post #7 actually got there first.
I have a flare gun and it’s definitely not something to be fired at your genitals. I’m just saying. Even without the burning flare, a great big aluminum thing gets launched at high velocity. Things to do today: Avoid shooting myself in the crotch with a flare gun, if possible.
Hey, Moon....you got that right.....but I guess we folks of a “certain age” will get it....
All through the shadows they come and they go....
With only one thing in common....
They got the fire down below.....
LOL!
Rule Number ONE: Never point a loaded weapon at your gun. Something really bad could happen.
This is my rifle, this WAS my gun.
For some reason, my buddy had a flare gun when we attended college. One evening we saw a guy climbing up the outside of the dorm to the second floor, which was a girls floor. We were on 7th and he fired the flare at the dude and it hit right beside his head. He jumped down and fled quickly. So funny....and what would happen today it you did that.
Wile E. Coyote ain’t got nothing on this guy!
Talk about yer Hot Pants...
Well that is going to leave a mark.
No future decendants so give him a runner-up Darwin.
FLAMING DARWIN AWARD WINNER!!!
Well....that was a nutty thing to do
I know these may be obvious questions, but someone has to ask:
- Who loads a flare gun in the house?
- Who loads a flare gun in the house and then lays it down - in the house?
- Who picks up a loaded flare gun that they laid down and forgets it’s loaded?
Talk about stuck on stupid.
Fortunately, his ability to be a sperm donor may have come to an unglorious end!
I can’t help it, but I’m having visions of 0bama trying to shoot clay pigeons that have rolled too close.
Fixed.
