"Birdshot" coming out of a .22 handgun seems somewhat strange ...

Actually, we called it 'rat shot' and it made for a lot of fun.

Why do the words "Darwin Awards" come to mind?

I'm not a gun expert. Is there 22 calibre birdshot shells, or is that the calibre of the shot itself?

Beat me to it!!

I did used to occassionally go to a bar that had four beers on tap: Bud Light, Miller Light, Blatz, and Pabst BR. Since I could get water for free, and Blatz is just plain swill, we used to always go for the Blue (very underrated beer).

inside the home he shares with 35-year-old Cathy Jo Harris, along Chicken Bone Road, in Lower Turkeyfoot Township,

This has to be a joke.

"along Chicken Bone Road, in Lower Turkeyfoot Township,"

You just can't make that stuff up. Amazing. It's the address for the "Barking Rooster Mobile Home Park," I'm sure.

Yeah I have shot them, I keep a .22 revolver loaded with the stuff for snakes. It is sometimes called snakeshot as well. Its the same size as a .22 but has tiny pellets in a plastic capsule on the top.

I used to shoot squirrels that got into my grandparent's house with those rounds - they lived a bit too close to other houses to use a .22 short. And the guns was a single-shot smooth-bore bolt-action .22. Often after the first shot, the squirrel would jump out of the trees and run full-speed across the yard, with me in hot pursuit trying to work the bolt while running and my relatives on the porch singing "Kill the Wabbit!"

"Birdshot from a .22 handgun?
"

Not so strange. Federal makes a .22 birdshot cartridge. Just Google ".22 birdshot"

I don't know.
It wouldn't be applicable in this incident anyway.
He only winged her.

I assume you mean Møøsë. Mice don't fly. They glide.

What the heck is he doing using these in the house? Bad enough putting 1 hole in the floor or wall without dozens.
