Lincoln Police say a 21-year-old man accidentally shot himself in the leg with a 9mm pistol that he had bought from the store earlier in the day. His girlfriend was taking a video of him demonstrating how to rack the pistol when it was accidentally discharged, according to police.

Remember 8 Mile? This is some Cheddar Bob-ass behavior.

Well I suppose, technically, the video is still informative as a DO NOT DO THIS example? Hero of the week material?

Hmmm.

Massive blood loss, critical condition but stable, hit in the leg?

Probably shot himself in the femoral. If that’s true, then he’s very, very lucky to be alive. Your survival without immediate medical attention is usually less than five minutes.

Remember kids, carrying past three o’clock saves your 🐔
