"Hold my beer..."

The photo was not me (it's all over the military forums and there is no story behind it)and I thought it was a good example of why we honor the four rules of firearm safety. This is the last forum I thought there be would be people offended by it. Just whack the thread.

Yep, we got this in our mailboxes last week. I think it's part of the Military's "It's summer, don't do dumb shit" month.

HOLY COW I thought it was an art project for cutouts at first.

That's a real piece of work. Yow.

[ignatzami]

I lol'd.

I'm a bad person but yes, I lol'd. That is stupidity on a near epic level.

[omoplatypus]

what the fuck????? that shit is fucking gross

No. Notice how there is no bleeding. That wound has been treated. The dirty boot gives the impression that it just happened.

Damn it. I should have noticed this before I posted.

The wound may have been treated, but there's tissue destruction all the way down to the bone. Whoever Quickdraw McGraw might be, he's gonna have some serious mobility problems for the rest of his life. Moreso if he keeps exposing an open wound like that for pictures or showing off.

Ruin all my fun, why don't you...

I wonder about the mindset that leads someone who has just shot themselves to reach for the digital camera rather than, say, rushing to the hospital.

They must be truly selfless.

Offended? Shut the fuck up. I laughed my ass off when I saw that. Then I showed it to my neighbor. He laughed too.

About thirty minutes later I wondered if the poor fool who was stupid enough to shoot himself in the foot had any idea of the consequences of losing his big toe.

Have a neg rep for being too lazy to post details.

Don't get all bent out of shape, no one actually said they were offended, using spoiler tags for certain images is pretty standard around here. BTW, you just posted the back story that would have made your OP fine:

You have to admit the thread title you chose is rather misleading.

That's a big hole. .45?

In case you haven't gone to the ER yet, you will walk with a limp for the rest of your life if you lose your big toe.
