Stray Shot?

October 21, 2006 in Pissy | 10 comments

Ok y’all I’m officially weirded out with living here in Tucson. This morning The Hotness and I were sitting out on the back porch and he noticed something shiny down to the left of me on the ground. I go to pick it up…it’s a fucking bullet. The Hotness inspected it pretty closely and he thinks it’s from either from a .45 or a .457.

It had been discharged from whatever gun shot it and it impacted right on the edge of our cement patio. I told The Hotness that I would ask the other two people living with us about it then call the non-emergency police and report it later on today.

*sigh*

I’m not liking the fact that if one of us had been sitting out there we’d of been hit. It just goes to remind me that other people are fucking morons and have no respect for firearms or the people around them.

So, how’s your weekend going so far?

    Isn’t that how it always is in Arizona? I picture bullets flying all around constantly…

    Big German Shepherd attacked IZ and Sophie on their walk this morning. He had the presence of mind to take control and the dog backed down. But it followed them the whole way home, waiting for IZ to let down his guard. Just glad it wasn’t the kid out with the dog.

    Irony? My spam word was “biteme” :)

    Not so good. My mom found my blog this morning. It sucks. But, the World Series starts tonight, so it’s getting better.

    Yikes, that is totally scary. I’ll be interested to read (yahoo! I’m back to reading blogs!) what the police do about it.

    You do have a bullet proof vest in the meantime, dontcha? ;)

    Wow… that’s ummm, really not good. I’d be more than a little pissed.

    When I was visiting Arizona my friend gave me a gun and told me I had to use it in the dessert in case I saw a snake. Then I saw people in the supermarket with them.

    That freaked me out.

    I still love Arizona though and would move there in a heartbeat.

    Whoa! I’m one of these people who believes our world should be able to do without guns. Period. To have one so close to where you were sitting & to have been fired so recently is scary as hell.

    Man that sucks!

    My weekend is great compared to that.

    We get stories of freak ricochets and stray bullets every deer hunting season here in North Central Wisconsin. Worse, we get stories of some dumb mf who shoots something not-deerish while thinking he’d found his 30 point buck.

    When I moved to MI to live with my ex and his gun collection, I took hunter’s safety class just so I wouldn’t blow my own head off if I ever had to deal with his collection of WWII weapons. I keep wondering why it’s not mandatory education for every student, at least the lecture portion of the course. Just because someone is against guns does not mean that they’ll never have to deal with one.

    Yikes! That’s scary! Another reason I like Podunk. The only shooting that goes on around here is out in the country. And the only things that need to be concerned are the Bambis and Thumpers of the groves.
