COLUMBUS (WCMH) — A New Carlisle, Ohio man is recovering after accidentally shooting himself during a dentist appointment.
72-year-old James White was under nitrous oxide at New Carlisle Dental Group when he thought he heard his phone ring, went to grab it, but accidentally grabbed his pistol and fired the weapon, sending a bullet through his hand and grazing his stomach.
No one else was injured in the incident.
“If you’re going to be put under nitrous, then you think twice about taking your gun into the dental office,” said a neighbor who lives near the dentist office.
White has his concealed carry permit and the dentist’s office has no signs asking carriers not to bring firearms into the facility.
“Going into a doctor’s office where you might be placed under some kind of medication, you might not want to carry a weapon in there,” said Sgt. Christina Evans-Fisher of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. “Think of your safety and the safety of those around you.”
An employee of the New Carlisle Dental Group said the employees were “shaken up,” but also know it was absolutely an accident.
The poor dude suffered from concealed caries.
Glock
Really good one. I’ll have to remember it to inflict on the appropriate audience.
LOL ping!
Instead of answering the phone, he answered the Glock.
That usually does not end well.
Don’t tell that to Clock boy, he will become Glock Boy for sure.
A "you owe me a new keyboard" class comment! ROFL.
Every so often I have had to pull off the road at night to rest for a while. I ALWAYS take the keys out of the ignition before trying to go to sleep just because I’m afraid I might half awaken and accidentally start the car. Packing a loaded Glock when about to go under nitrous not too good an idea.
:)
That was one bang-up dentist.
He should hire a Firearm Hygienist to clean the patients guns while he drills.
But then, the laughing stopped...
That there is wisdom fer the ages, pilgrim! ;-)
But Ivory sorry he got hurt...hope he's filling better....and I will certainly continue to root for him.
