He took off his shoe and threw it at the bug to kill it, but a revolver he had hidden in the shoe fell to the ground. Upon making contact with the floor, the gun discharged and the bullet hit the victim in the foot.
That’s even more bizarre; how does one hide a gun in their shoe??
When you roll a nat 1…
Naw.
The DM broke out the special dice (see below,) and turned it to a divine 1. Just for that guy….
(Edit: credit where it’s due)
20 should be fuck you
Why are there so many fucking accounts less than 30 days old? Do y’all just keep making accounts every week? Are there this many newer Lemmings?
Not long ago Reddit introduced a new policy thatpunishes people for upvoting bad posts, which includes posts about Luigi Mangione. After that, people have been moving into Lemmy as an alternative.
Thank you for the context. Always happy to see growth, the paranoid bit of me always jumps to the worst conclusion.
Reddit did another stupid, so there’s plenty of new joiners
This reference may or may not be before your time … forgive me, I’ve seen this before.
Think of it as “Eternal September” and you’ll be able to take it in your stride … brace yourself, this is going to happen more and more, at least for a while.
To be fair, I’m only noticing because I’ve switched to Voyager and it shows which accounts are newer, but there’s a ton! My instinct is to think troll farms. But, I’ll be happy to live in an eternal September.
Yeah, Voyager here too. The indicator helps evaluate if I care enough to respond. As for Eternal September, it was a doozy and the road was pretty rough.
That said, I’m still here, so there’s that 😇
Pretty sure it’s another wave of refugees.
Real american gun owners have guns everywhere: Shoe gun Belt gun Hat gun Bathroom gun Church gun
Bra gun too, there was the woman that shot herself in the head while adjusting a gun in her bra

Based on the amount of church shootings, church gun isn’t far off…
He has a prostetic leg, obviously!
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not because that’s actually a good explanation… Even if you’re on a wheelchair, I can’t imagine having a lump of metal in/on/under your shoe being comfortable at all if you have a real foot.
If his claim is true he probably had an ankle or boot holster. Taking off his boot dislodged his gun and it fell to the ground discharging. I could not imagine the blisters from trying to walk around with a loose gun in my boot, a crease in my sock is above my threshold.
It may have been a boot
It would be extremely ironic if he had a prostetic leg and was shot by his own gun in the other one. It was a joke.
I imagine it was more of a cowboy boot. There is some room around the ankle calf area where you could conceal a smaller gun.
Also, an ankle holster makes sense to me. Awkwardly rushing to take off your shoe while hoping around on one foot could dislodge the weapon from the holster.
A bigger question is, why would you store a revolver with the hammer cocked? I don’t think a double action revolver would just “go off” with the hammer uncocked. The drop would not be strong/violently enough cock the hammer. The hammer would have to be intentionally left cocked, so a drop could accidentally release it to fire the round.
You thought he was gonna miss this party?
I was very skeptical about this story playing out as told. When looking for a more complete article, this exact story is published from 2019 from multiple sources.
While I don’t think it is a requirement all guns sold in the US need to pass the SAAMI Drop Test, I can’t imagine anything being sold that wouldn’t pass it, especially a revolver where the design likely hasn’t changed in 100 years. The drop test covers drops at various angles from 4 feet high, higher than a person sitting and taking off a shoe. Revolvers also need to have the hammer pulled back before firing or have extremely long and heavy trigger pulls.
I’m calling both fake news and if this story did happen, I can’t see it being anything but a negligent discharge from someone assuming it wasn’t loaded or just being a fool putting a finger where it didn’t belong.
You should win those fights.
This sounds like embodiment of US
Tell someone is American without mentioning American.
