SAN ANTONIO -- A Texas woman heating fish sticks was shot in the leg today by a gun that had been stashed in her oven, police said.
Roxanne Perez, 29, was taken to at Wilford Hall Medical Center where she was in good condition, they said.
They said a friend of hers had hidden the .357 caliber handgun in the stove two weeks earlier without telling her after she told him no guns were allowed in her house.
When Perez heated up the fish sticks she also heated up the gun, which caused several rounds to be fired. One hit her in the leg.
Police have ruled the shooting an accident, and said they do not expect to file criminal charges.

Sorry the title must be different. It's short and won't take up much room.

When guns are outlawed only stoves will have guns.

Isn't it weird what sort of details make it into news stories?
My all-time favorite is still an obituary type story about a guy who was killed when his bulldozer rolled over while he was working on the side of a hill. The first few paragraphs were all the usual things you would expect like comments from family and friends about what a great guy he was and how many children he had and how long he worked for the construction company and all that stuff. And then the very last sentence of the story said, "damage to the bulldozer was estimated at 100,000 dollars."
What the?

Housewives in Texas just need to learn to cook fish sticks in gun safes. They are apparently the one place where no self-respecting Texan would ever store his gun!

Just because it's a heater is no reason to keep it in the oven!
