The Annoyed Man wrote:Back in my ER days, we had a patient who shot himself in the butt that way. He was at the Handlebar Saloon in Pasadena California and had a small caliber (.25 or .32 if I recall correctly) mouse gun in his back pocket, while quaffing great draughts of proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy..............and said pocket had a hole in it. His pea-shooter dropped out the hole and hit the floor muzzle up. The entrance wound was on the underside of his right buttock, and the exit wound was on the top of the same buttock. A regular Forest Gump he was, and a real pain in the ..... uh, posterior.

He had the right to remain silent, but he did not have the ability. At first he tried to tell Pasadena's finest that someone else had shot him in an altercation. However, his account did not jibe on several key points with statements given by multiple eyewitnesses: namely that they had seen the gun fall out of his pocket; seen the gun hit the floor; seen and heard the gun go off (over the sound of the juke-box playing Kansas' "Carry On Wayward Son" at about 150 Db), seen the bullet strike him in the tushie; and seen the vic grab his posterior with both hands and bellow a mighty oath. He finally admitted that he had brought the gun to the bar and accidentally shot himself with it. Two bandaids and a shot of penicillin later, he was arrested and taken away.
