" gun had gone off and shot him"

Then, it ransacked his wallet, took his car keys and headed south for Lodi, where it used his credit cards to buy a Harley and start a gang.

the gun discharged and shot him in the chest, but he apparently didn't realize he was wounded until he awoke early Friday.

Doesn't say much for the stopping power of the 22.

went to bed Thursday night with a loaded .22-caliber revolved tucked under his pistol.

Never tuck a revolver under a pistol.

"a loaded .22-caliber revolved tucked under his pistol"

This is series.

A revolved tucked under a pistol is a sure recipe for disaster.

This is why you should never use a .22 to sleep with.

If he had needed to shoot someone other than himself odds are it would just have pissed them off.

Sleep with a .38 or better........

It would have been far worse if he had fallen asleep in his SUV. It would have probably killed him.

. . . a loaded .22-caliber revolved tucked under his pistol . . .

Yeah, it's a whole lot worse when those revolveds and pistols double team you. Add a pillow and it can be really series . . .

(How stupid is this reporter, and how much does he rely on his spell checker, forgetting it doesn't catch homynyms or misplaced words . . . ?)

Good thing it wasn't a .45. Or too bad, it might not have happened with the grip safety.

During those cool winter months here in Florida, we sometimes sleep with the windows open. I always sleep with a .45 in condition 3 under my pillow. Condition 3 is full mag, inserted but with an empty chamber. I do this because one cool winter night in 1996, I woke just in time to have to do hand to hand combat with the burglar worming his way inside my bedroom and my .45 was too far away in my night stand before he made contact. I was able to knock him back out of the window and then arm myself. But I was very lucky. If I hadn't had the alarm on, it might've gone the other way. I have severe sleep apnea, so I sleep with an oxygen mask and an air pump humming away. The "white noise" this produces keeps both my wife and myself in a pretty deep sleep.

I can't imagine what happened here. (OK, I got that "pistol" means "pillow.") But why o why did the gun go off? Was it a revolver or does the reporter not appreciate the difference? Can't imagine an uncocked revolver just going off for the heck of it. Is this a suicide attempt? Did he do something odd in his sleep? What?

I blame it on the Gun Fairy who was confused by the configuration, likely thought it was a dreaded assault weapon (ugly beasts, those) and in a display of Dr. Zachary Smithism, badly mishandled the situation and called on the robot to fetch the shakydog to get 'em the heck out of there.

One cannot help but suppose that consumption of an adult beverage played a role in this little event.

And imagine the awakening:

"Man, this is the worst hangover ever! I feel like I've been shot in the chest!"

That pillow won't be causing anyone any more trouble.
