Alaska man shoots himself in head treats wound with Neospori

What a doofus! :headscratch

James Doppler, of Anchor Point, shot himself with a .22 rifle on Saturday
He didn't seek help until Thursday
Staff the Homer hospital said he used antibiotic cream Neosporin to treat the wound
Alaska State Troopers say the gun went off as James Doppler was handling it last weekend.

A 43-year-old Anchor Point man is expected to make a full recovery after initially treating a gunshot wound to the head for five days with an antibiotic ointment.
Troopers say his girlfriend urged him to go the hospital but he refused, believing at the time he didn't need outside help to tend the wound.

His approach kinda makes sense, because the bullet apparently didn't hit anything he was using anyway.

He did get to see how far a bullet will travel in empty space.

Wonder if he'd be interested in testing bullet proof vests, I heard there was an opening....

They never fail to find and run stories that make guns look bad.

How about some stories from the 2.5 million times per year that a gun is used to lawfully prevent a crime?

Who needs ballistic gel when you have idiots like this walking around. Just hand him a gun with the round you want tested and wait a few minutes for results.

Neosporin? That's the most ridiculous thing Ive every heard. Everyone knows for a head wound to use Duct Tape!
