Accidental Wii Suicide

Paul Taylor noted a story that I would have thought to be an April Fool's Day joke a few weeks from now, which makes it only seem more tragic. A 3-year-old shot herself with a gun after mistaking it for a Wii controller.

    Did a dog pop up from behind the bushes and chuckle afterwards?

    There's a loaded Glock 17 and EAA Witness in .40 on my coffee room table right now. One or both of them is always near me or on my hip.

    Because you never know when it's needed. The only time it's "unnecessary" to have some form of self defense handy is when you're already dead.

    Who the hell leaves their gun loaded and out in the open, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN AROUND????

    Idiots, obviously. A Jeff Foxworthy quote: A redneck's famous last words: "Hey, Billy Bob, watch this!"

    No shurikens?

    Hide in the shadows and throw them at the burglars without showing yourself.
    On a plus side - they are silent so you won't disturb the neighbors.
    Just remember to buy a meat grinder or two so you can feed the corpses to your pet piranhas.

    You're gonna die from a hearth attack or a stroke. Possibly cancer.

    Stress does that to ya.

    You're right. If someone attacked me with a hearth, any guns I might have would be useless.
