Guns aren't for toys or tools to put holes in walls when at a loss for a drill and a sturdy bit-they're for keeping the king of England out of your face.

My immediate thought is that if one wanted to kill one's wife this would be a rather brilliant way to do it, the act is so stupid and the result so tragic that it's akin to some cartoon shit. Who would possibly try and persecute such a case and then who would defend it...perfect crime, at most he'll get third degree involuntary manslaughter.

Of course I doubt this guy did it on purpose and it's more than likely a simple, stupid, tragic accident but I cannot help but think that after the dude put the second hole in the wall and his wife lay dying that the theme from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" must have been playing somewhere in epic Larry David fashion...

Exactly. If he didn't have that gun the King of England could just come in and start pushing him around.

Well, time to head to Tangier and start writing fiction.

Seriously. This guy should be charged with WAY more than manslaughter. People who are so fucking stupid just being near them is a serious threat shouldn't be allowed on the streets.

I honestly don't think he'll be shooting irresponsibly again guys.

I knew this story sounded familiar. This happened March 2008 and as of the last article I could find, dated April 2008, charges were not expected.

Stupidity as an accepted excuse for murder...remind me never to move to Missouri.

@Wander

He shouldn't have been shooting irresponsibly to begin with

I wrote a song and named it this.
