Washington Spokane man kills himself while twirling revolver

[slimmer13]

In the spate of NDs being posted lately, i hadnt seen this local one mentioned.

Sounds like he got a freebie. The second one, not so much.

Wilson's girlfriend told police they were in the drive-thru line at Supreme Bean on North Hamilton Street at about 3:30 p.m. Jan. 28 when Wilson began talking to her about the time he shot himself in the foot when he was younger, according to court documents.

Wilson then retrieved the gun with which he shot himself – a wooden-handled revolver – from the center console, and spun it on one of his fingers after laughing.

Wilson's girlfriend said the gun unintentionally fired as it went around Wilson's finger and a bullet struck him in the chest

Oh no, one less person to buy those baldness curing laser hats, copper bracelets and boner vitamins.

Not good, at a time when the CPL training bill is pending. And as history proves, once a mandatory training bill is passed it is used to burden and discourage gun owners, not to actually provide real training.

Yeah, who doesn't have a hair trigger revolver?

I'd have to look at that with some significant scrutiny. Seems implausible that it would fire in DA mode from twirling it. And it seems equally implausible someone would twirl it in SA mode.

Who knows... but I'd like to know the angle of trajectory of the round and if she was dusted and if her prints were on the revolver.

Don't twirl your revolver.

According to the article, it was the 2nd time he shot himself with the same revolver. The first time in the foot. The force of fireplug was rooted deeply in that one.

I have to hope he did this before he managed to make any copies of himself for the rest of us to pay for.

That only works pre-procreation. Post-procreation and it's like mother nature rubbing one out.
