Corn Popped
A leisurely stroll through a corn maze somehow landed a Minnesota man in the hospital with a self-inflicted bullet wound in his leg.
Police say the 38-year-old man was visiting the maze with his family when he felt a piece of corn in his boot. As he bent down to pull the corn out, his gun -- which he was licensed to carry -- discharged and fired a single shot into his thigh. Officers responded to an emergency call about a shooting and found the man. They say his gun was not equipped with a safety lock and they're investigating whether he mishandled the weapon. So far no charges have been filed. (KMSP-TV)
Scott's Thoughts and Dad Jokes:
- Aww shucks!
- The incident needs to be investigated. What if there's not a kernel of truth to his story?
- Lucky he was the only one shot. The gun could have fired in another direction. There were other people around, including his family.
