[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1685426, member: 711"] Close to home but a while back: OKC fairgrounds gunshow. Some guy had, I think, a Winchester defender all properly zip-tied and was trying to sell it. A prospective buyer asked how many shells it held. Owner wasn't sure, so they bought some shells, took everything to the restroom, cut off the zip tie, and jammed it full of shells. The sale didn't happen. Owner, who seems to have been mathematically challenged, thought he had removed all the shells and was resting the muzzle on one of his feet. He apparently thought the hammer spring should be rested, pulled the trigger, and of course blew off a big portion of his foot. Two of my students happened to be close enough to be hit, not seriously, by flying pellets. I heard, but can't document, that the shooter sued Winchester, the gunshow promoter, the fairgrounds and/or the City, whoever sold him the shells, and (this probably isn't accurate) his parents for using defective genetic materials in his creation. I also heard that the case was thrown out of court with a stinging rebuke from the judge. I am curious if anyone has any information on this incident. Best I can recall, it happened in the early 90s.
