Were ALL of those cartridges from that “ONE” Shooter up in the 6th Floor Peanut Gallery?????
Maybe. Maybe not. The funny thing is all have 1973 headstamps. Time machine, doncha know.
At the age of 5 or 6 I did the same type of thing. Placed the 22 cartridge on its base on concrete and hit the top end with a table knife handle. When it went off it went between my head and my 3 YO brother. My mother came out of the house and took action. She proved that an irate mother can carry a 5 YO boy off the ground, by his hair, for at least 25 yards. Further action was carried on in the house.
None of my “Southern” friends have ever shot their friends. I cant say that about my “Yankee” relatives or friends.
I had a buddy when I was a kid that put a shotgun shell in the end of a pipe and smacked it with a hammer... lost the end of his finger.
I love these stories!
I'm betting it was lack of oxygen.
Not naughty...possibly now hearing impaired, but not naughty.
Think I read a Darwin Award a few yrs. ago about a couple bubbas that did just that.
Cartridge got hot , went off and they wrecked on a bridge.
IIRC one of them had some testicular damage.
LOL....... You speaking of these two fine guys?...
......Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc, and Billy Ray Wallis, 38, of Little Rock, are listed in serious condition at Baptist Medical Center. The accident occurred as the two men were returning to Des Arc after a frog-giggin’ trip.....

LOL....that’s the boys!
No they don't. An injury which takes them out of the gene-pool is a qualifying event.
You are correct. However, the subject of this article didn't shoot his [deleted] off so he doesn't qualify under that standard either.
Rereading the story, he’s got three kids.
Unless he manages to take them out too, he’s already ineligible.
