Re: Man shoots self but doesn't realize it until 3 days later
Back when I was a LEO, we got a call of a gunshot victim at the local hospital. Upon arrival we found a car at the emergency entrance with it's driver's door open. inside the "victim" told his story which included purchasing a 25 acp at a local pawn shop, loading it while driving and somehow shooting himself. Fortunately he was only a few blocks from the hospital. The bullet went in his arm at an upward angle, struck his shoulder joint changed direction and came out through his arm pit. It was interesting to see the x-ray, the bullet left tiny lead fragments that showed the entire path of the bullet. But he knew that he had been shot. He was also more than willing to allow us to confiscate his gun, since at the time it was illegal to carry one, loaded, in the front of the car. He never came to claim it, but the County Attorney figured he had learned his lesson, and didn't pursue charges.

He probably needs to buy more shirts so he can change them more often. Not attempt to clean a loaded firearm. And not handle firearms when he's taking pain medication. JMHO
