Joel Sheehy, 21, son of Nebraska Lt. Governor, Rick Sheehy, accidentally shot himself in the face Wednesday night while handling his 9-mm Glock in his apartment.  He is expected to be okay.  He is reported to have taken hunter’s safety classes.  Luckily, the bullet did not kill someone in an adjoining apartment.  Being the son of the Lt. Governor, it is unlikely that he will be charged with discharging a firearm in a dwelling or reckless endangerment.

By the way, can you accidentally beat someone to death with a tire iron?

Two brothers in Bellevue, WA, got in an argument over a video game Monday, when the 16-year-old pulled out a gun and shot his 12-year-old brother in the face.  The victim is expected to survive.

16-year-olds aren’t supposed to have guns, but getting one is this country is easier than buying Sudafed – literally!  On the other hand, gun advocates claim that all citizens need a gun to protect themselves.  16-year-olds are citizens too.
