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.

Agree. They aren’t toys.

“Why don’t they have firearms...”

They could with air soft.

Every time I read these stories it always boils down to those famous last words... “I didn’t know it was loaded”

[plain talk]

Not too bright. Reminds me of this guy ...

When I was a kid hunting safety was a required course in 6th grade. Due to my locality, boating safety and winter/snowmobile safety was taught as well.

It’s more that he’s a sociopath, I think, and the smart way to be in prison is “model prisoner.”

Succeeding at a skill is really fun.

Ah. Beer drinking is an Olympic event in Florida.
I’m training for the jack and coke marathon myself.

Real tough. You should play some rugby against them.

[caseinpoint]

Wouldn’t even try. I have several Samoan and Tongan friends. They are open, loving people who value families and their culture.

Is the ATF guy the one that's always asking, "Where did dah fox go, George?"

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Yeah, that’s me before my 2 cups of coffee.

I had a girl at the archery range at Webelos camp who was scared. I told her none of the equipment was going to do anything loud. “Hold the bow like this. Arrow goes like this. Fingers here on the string. Stand up straight and pull ... shoot.”

They allow girls in Webloes now? They should seriously consider changing the name then.
