Man shoots himself in leg while bowling
Toronto Sun ^ | May 15, 2013

A Florida man accidentally shot himself in the leg while bowling Tuesday night.

The man was at the bowling lanes in Jupiter, Fla., and witnesses told WPBF the ball likely hit the man's leg during his back swing.

At first, some people at the bowling alley thought it was a firecracker going off.

Witnesses say the man limped back to his seat clutching his leg.

He was taken to hospital as a precaution, but his injuries weren't expected to be life-threatening.

The man's identity wasn't released.

Bowling? You’re doing it wrong.

I’ve hit myself in the leg during my back swing before while bowling and it never resulted in any gunfire. This is weird.

Carrying while bowling? OK, but what kind of weapon goes off when you ping it with a bowling ball?

Sounds like a microsoft engineered weapon.

I don’t think I’d go to Jupiter without a gun either. I most likely wouldn’t keep it in my pants pocket with a round chambered though.

We need to register all bowling balls and limit them to 7 pins.
