STOCKTON (CBS13) – A 20-year-old Stockton man had to undergo emergency surgery Monday after he accidentally shot himself in the leg.
The man was found in the parking lot of a store in the 2400 block of E. Main Street in Stockton with a wound to his upper-thigh. The weapon was a crudely made 12-gauge “zip gun”.
Police say the incident happened while the man was allegedly trying to hide the gun in his pants.
Old single barrel shotguns can be had so cheaply that I can’t see the need to make one.
Around a year ago, I bought one for $40 plus tax. It was fairly rusty and the for end was loose but the bore and action were fine. After tightening the fore end, which was a little harder than I thought, and cleaning off the rust, it looked like a perfectly good user.
Lock-up is tight and it even has an ejector. I have only fired a box of shells through it but it shoots better than most more expensive guns and the action is perfect. It also has a hammer.
Another one of Obama’s sons????
