    Most of us probably already knew that, but a Ft. Worth man learned this lesson the hard way. The Dallas Morning News has immortalized the antics of 44-year-old Jorge Espinal, who was drinking and playing cards at 3 a.m. Sunday. (How’d I know alcohol was involved?)
    Espinal told police he had an itch on his back and to scratch it he grabbed the first thing he could find, a revolver. Do I need to tell you the gun went off and he accidentally shot himself? His buddies (no doubt also drunk) didn’t believe his story until they saw the blood coming down his back. In their defense, it is pretty hard to believe anyone could be this stupid.
    Espinal went to the hospital where they treated him for non life-threatening injuries. No word on whether anyone checked for brain activity.

    i'm sure it would be relatively safe if you kept your finger off the trigger while doing it...

    yeah, thats the key


    you can even do it when its loaded..... makes no difference


    as long as you don't hold it by the trigger, you will be fine

    Well don't ever get the urge to scratch your back with a loaded gun while your drunk and you should continue on this winning streak.

    this is ridiculous.....


    I've been around guns my entire life, drunk, stoned, sober, pilled up, whatever.

    and not once, have I even had a close call. Doesn't anyone realize it a fucking gun? not to be all stupid about it? jesus titty fuckin christ. this is just plain common sense.


    well, you get shot, you get shot. don't look at me to take your bleedin ass to the hospital.

    oh and get the fuck outside, don't be bleedin all over my floors bitch.
