Fun with Guns - Gun hidden in oven explodes -

[packman]

Robin Garlock, who is 44 years old, hid his revolver in the broiler when his kids came to visit him.

He neglected to tell his girlfriend.

She pre-heated the oven for something she planned to cook later that evening.

She heard a gunshot. Then more gunshots. She ran for cover and called Garlock, who faced a grim situation.


“It’s too hot,” Warren Police Detective Wayne Mackey told the Vindicator. “The gun literally spun around because it’s going off.”

He was burned as he tried to retrieve the gun. Handy kitchen hint: Use a pot holder when trying to catch your revolver in the oven. Those suckers run!


P.S. - It happened in Florida

1. That happened to our police chief some years back -- he never lived it down

Apparently, hiding guns in ovens is more common than you might think.

3. Idiot

Doesn't he know if you want to hide guns from your kids, you hide them in the vegetable bin in the refrigerator?

That is where I keep my stash of chocolate.

5. Always look inside the oven before turning it on

living with dumbass roommates has taught me a lot of useful lessons on why it's better to live alone.

Stashing stuff in the oven is way more common than it should be.
