A Florida man accidentally shot himself in the leg while bowling Tuesday night.

The man was at the bowling lanes in Jupiter, Fla., and witnesses told WPBF the ball likely hit the man's leg during his back swing.

At first, some people at the bowling alley thought it was a firecracker going off.

Witnesses say the man limped back to his seat clutching his leg.

He was taken to hospital as a precaution, but his injuries weren't expected to be life-threatening.

The man's identity wasn't released.

Maybe he was trying to put another hole in his ball...

"Glocks have two triggers....."

One for you to pull and a separate one in San Francisco for Nancy to pull if she agrees with your shot.

Another way to shoot a Turkey in bowling....

According to a witness it was a Glock but it did not go off because it was hit with a bowling ball. It went off because he was reseating it in a cheap holster while walking back to the bench.

GLOCK!

Highly unlikely. Glock has plenty of internal safeties.

Most likely a cheap revolver, or a Jennings, Raven, Bryco, or Davis semi-auto.

My first thought - “you’re doing it wrong”.

I read that same thread on GT earlier today.

Didn’t Eaker drop a bowling ball on his foot while shooting? Or was that just a rumor?

Didn’t Eaker drop a bowling ball on his foot while shooting?

Which time?

Am I the only one around here who cares about the rules?!

A glock isn’t going to go off unless you pull the trigger

if something is through the trigger guard where is can be pushed against the trigger then the Glock is an accident waiting to happen. Never put one in your pocket with the trigger uncased.

Gives me the heebie-jeebies when I read about ADs when holstering the Glock where the trigger finger is not sufficiently retracted. These almost qualify as actually accidental.

[Still Thinking]

Never show up to a gunfight with a bowling ball.

Bowling ball mortar backfired maybe... ?

[Larry Lucido]

“Skeet bowling balls” wasn’t such a good idea either.

[Bratch]

Obviously took “spare shooting” a bit too literally.
