"responsible gun owners" is becoming another oxymoron

[sadbear]

1. Guns don't kill people...

(You can see where I'm going with this.)

[Kalidurga]

6. Ovens kill people?

The owner of the magazine wasn't charged? WTF???

[sadbear]

7. Does it matter?

I mean, as long as we don't blame the guns, blenders and juicers could kill people, right?

[Kalidurga]

8. True

We also can't say he should be charged apparently either since he had a conceal can carry permit. I am still WTF over that.

[sadbear]

10. I'd say he concealed it pretty damn good.

[meow2u3]

26. Youse two stole my line

Guns don't kill people--ovens kill people.

[midwest irish]

2. I was told by a cop

That guns going off because they are near the oven/stove is no uncommon. People dont think about the heat and the bullet firing. Why the person in this story put ammo in the oven I have no clue.

[Ian David]

3. Close, but no Darwin Award. n/t

[Enrique]

4. she should have had a good oven with a gun n/t

[Scootaloo]

5. Stored his... what?

No, really... What? How does this sound like a good idea to anyone?

Also, who makes waffles in an oven?

[Fresh_Start]

15. you heat the oven to keep the waffles warm until you've made enough for everyone

otherwise, some people eat cold waffles
its normal...

[TexasProgresive]

37. We chose not to have a toaster in the house

We toast bread and frozen waffles in the oven- on broil.

[BainsBane]

9. gun owner wasn't charged

"Sandy wasn't charged because he had a proper concealed weapons permit, The Tampa Tribune reported." What does a concealed permit have to do with recklessly storing ammunition and thus enabling someone to be shot?

[Kalidurga]

12. Sounds like a law needs to catch up with the stupid.

Apparently this happens more often than we would think.

[NoPasaran]

11. Ah, Florida

[BainsBane]

13. that really says it all

and I lived there for seven years.

[monmouth3]

17. I'm still here. Dog help me...

[FLyellowdog]

24. Been here since '77...

[Warpy]

14. It's usually Florida or Texas, isn't it?

The two states dumb enough to elect members of the Bush family governor grab most of the weird headlines.

People in Florida say "all the nuts roll down to Florida." Personally, I think the sauna like weather conditions down there kill brain cells, something that might also be at work in Texas.

[Blue_Tires]

16. I saw the title and was *really* hoping it was some euphemism for kink....

Seriously, am I the only one who thinks this was intentional? Maybe a jackass prank gone bad? Because no one is this fucking stupid....

[Fresh_Start]

18. seriously, he put the gun in a drawer and the magazine in the oven

his idea of storing it safely by separating the gun and the ammo....

[Blue_Tires]

19. He's gotta be a methhead or something...

Sadly, he'll be the first to cry "tyranny!" when big gummitt comes to take his guns...And he DOES deserve to lose them permanently...

[Earth_First]

20. So I guess that ammunition does in fact "cook off" despite claims to the contrary...

There goes that theory that gun owners claim ammunition won't cook off in a fire.

[pinboy3niner]

21. The oven was justified under Florida's SYG law

It was just standing its ground.

The lawyer for the waffles had no comment at this time.

[Politicalboi]

27. I thought Johnnie Cochran was dead

If only this woman had a gun to protect those waffles. They were her responsibility.

[Cleita]

22. And the dumb just keeps getting dumber.

Imagine putting something with explosive properties in it in a place that has heat and maybe an inflammable, gas.

[KittyWampus]

33. But isn't it a sign of the End Times when our appliances turn against us?

I think this is a warning shot.

[Cleita]

34. Yep. Wall-E is coming. n/t

[cliffordu]

23. they can take my stove from my cold dead hands

[KamaAina]

25. If only she'd been armed

she could have stood her ground against the oven, which, come to think of it, was probably black.

[pkdu]

28. She needs an AR15 , in case he stored more magazines in the toaster , microwave and deep-fryer nt

[SirRevolutionary]

29. This is why we need more armed chefs in the kitchen

along with the teachers and janitors in schools.

[JI7]

30. he wasn't charged because he has a "proper concealed weapons permit'

[legaleagle_45]

31. leggo of my eggo

Said the oven

[backscatter712]

32. Didn't Mythbusters cover this sort of incident?

Yes, Virginia, if you get a loaded gun or its bullets hot enough, they'll cook off.

We all wonder what kind of idiot would leave a gun or bullets in the oven (for safekeeping?)

There's always someone...

[spanone]

35. guns don't shoot people, loaded ovens do....

next time use the microwave

[pnwmom]

36. But if she'd had her own gun she could have shot the oven back!!! n/t

[Initech]

38. The only thing that can stop a bad oven with a gun...
