A Pensacola man is recovering from a gunshot wound on Monday, after accidentally shooting himself at a tavern last week.

Pensacola police said 28-year-old Carlos Feituuaki Tuifua shot himself at O’Riley’s Uptown Tavern, while showing it off to bar patrons on Thursday.

According to a report, Tuifua suffered a gunshot wound to his upper torso and left the bar after the shot was fired.

Police found Tuifua at a nearby hospital on Friday, after he checked himself in to be treated for his injury.

“Good thing my truck had vinyl upholstery.”

I thought you were supposed to strap them across the hood or trunk.

Tuifua is a surname most commonly found in Wallis and Futuna, an island group in the South Pacific. It became a French protectorate in 1887.

People with this name in the U.S. seem to be football players and members of the Latter-Day Saints church.

The third rule of guns is you never show off your gun.

And a search on “Feituuaki” returns nothing but stories about this guy. Maybe it’s a unique name made by combining elements from ancestral names.

Unless I miss my guess Carlos was not educated in this country.

At least not in Gun safety.

Sorry, I wasn’t criticizing what you read or post, I was criticizing what the media considers newsworthy.

I wish people would learn how to handle firearms from hunting with their dad and their uncles, like I did.

I grew up in rural PA. We brought our guns to school if we were going hunting directly after class - but there were never any school shootings.

“Why yes, I always wave a loaded gun around at the local saloon.”
Was that wrong? Should you not have done that? If you knew that that sort of thing was frowned upon .. .
