[history]
A man in Granite Falls, Wash., who slept with a pistol beneath his pillow woke up one morning last week to find the gun had gone off and shot him.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported Saturday that the man, who was not identified, went to bed Thursday night with a loaded .22-caliber revolved tucked under his pistol. Sometime during the night, the gun discharged and shot him in the chest, but he apparently didn't realize he was wounded until he awoke early Friday.

" 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........

"A spokeswoman for the Snohomish County Sheriff's Department speculated the man's pillow might have softened the bullet's impact." Obviously.
That's why a down vest is a much better, and cheaper, alternative for Kevlar.

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