Journal damn_registrars's Journal: Celebrity gun fail: Jose Canseco blows off his own finger 21

Cleaning a gun can be quite dangerous if you're an idiot:

Actress and model Leila Knight told the Daily News that Canseco was cleaning one of his four guns in the couple's kitchen when it discharged and blew off the middle finger of his left hand.

It's unclear if steroids can save him this time:

"He had been at the shooting range a few days earlier. He didn't know it was loaded," Knight told The News. "The middle finger was hanging by a thread, and I wrapped his hand in a towel and then called 911. The doctors said they would either have to amputate or do reconstructive surgery. But if they do surgery, he won't be able to use it again. He blew away an artery and a big bone chunk."

  • This is probably why my wife never let's me clean my guns at the kitchen table or when she's anywhere in the vicinity. And has made sure my life insurance is paid up.

    • Even I know that the first commandment of gun safety is

      Always treat a gun as if it is loaded

      It really boggles me that people will proceed to clean a gun without first checking whether or not there is ammunition in it. Any time anyone hands me a gun for any purpose - regardless of who they are, where they are, how I know them, etc - I first check the chamber and any ammunition clips to see that I know whether or not I have just been handed a loaded weapon. When I unlock my gun cabinet and remove a gun from it the first thing I check - even

          Very true. He did, however, qualify for a gun permit in ... oh, wait it's Nevada. In some other places gun owners generally have common sense. It's a good thing people in states like Texas are so much more ... [huffingtonpost.com] what's the word, the opposite of responsible?

        • And just where the hell have you been?
          • Started a farm, moved house, moved offices, attended an elaborate southern wedding.

            That's my last 6 months. How about you?
            • Noticed the moron AC (damn_registrars) still holding on to the Fab Four stuff.

              THERE WAS NEVER A FAB FOUR. IT WAS A JOKE.

              As for me?

              Work is keeping me extraordinarily busy. Can't complain though.
      • It's fiancé, you lazy slob! Learn to properly use the tools you have, if you want to look respectable.

        If you want to keep posting like all the other spammers around here who can't read English, then by all means...

        • It's fiancé, you lazy slob!

          Firefox 33.0 claims otherwise.

          Learn to properly use the tools you have

          Rather arrogant of you to assume that you would have better knowledge of these tools than I, particularly when you began your rant not knowing what tools I am using.

          Did you have an argument, or are you just crank-writing to me? My lunch is more interesting so far.

          • You are full of crap. The browser makes no difference. Seamonkey is the same thing, and I have no trouble posting properly, as you can see(aside from the many typos, which I gladly admit). You, however, are just being lazy, and like always, blaming somebody else. It's just like your politics. Get it into your damn head, your failures are your own. You are being a slob. And if you don't find any of this "interesting", then go choke on your lunch and don't waste your most valuable time responding to me!

            And le

            • My browser is using a different dictionary than you. The point should not have been that hard to understand. But go ahead, jump to completely disconnected conclusions instead and make yourself look like an imbecile, I won't stop you.
              • Oh, I see, so you can't spell without a dictionary, or even know how to turn off auto-correct... I hope you don't need the computer to wipe your butt...
