When I was about four years old, my eight yr. old brother shot me in the face with his BB gun. Luckily the BB hit and buried itself in my nose instead of an eye. ...(and the rest)
*************************
lol! I was a 12y/o brother who shot a 4y/o sister with a Daisy single-shot. I’d had the gun for years and was just trying to see if it worked (we usually carried the BBs in our mouths and just spit them into the gun after each shot, so the gun was rusted up).
Was standing in the hallway of our small house. When I cocked the gun and was closing it, it fired... straight down the hallway about 15ft. and hit little sis just above the nose, right between her eyes. She was lying in bed and facing the hallway. Scared hell out of me, because I had saved and bought a Daisy pump repeater that was many times more powerful that that old break-down single shot; that gun would have really hurt her bad.
She screamed, I screamed, Mom screamed, there was just a little blood from breaking the skin (the BB-gun was well used and weak). It did leave a little BB-sized dent.
(I resisted the urge to say we all screamed for ice cream)
I left for the Navy 6 years later and when I came home after one year, the little scar was gone. Mom had the Dr. do something to take care of that little dent.
“lol! I was a 12y/o brother who shot a 4y/o sister with a Daisy single-shot.”
I imagine it was a Daisy BB gun my brother had. Maybe lots of 4 yr. old sisters got shot with a brother’s BB gun.
Well, the cops didn’t get you, either and charge you with attempted murder like they would today. BB guns were normal for boys to have. Today, they are considered killing guns and you better not have one or imitate shooting one in school.
Glad your sister was okay.
