Darwin Award Winner!! Woman Shot Man During Foreplay

[Jackson1999]

A woman accused in the shooting death of her common-law husband told police her gun accidentally fired while they were playing a game of “dirty cowboy” during sexual foreplay, a Harris County prosecutor said.

...

“She describes it as playing ‘dirty cowboy,’” McCorvey said. “She did admit to being in possession of the handgun and using it as a toy during foreplay with the victim’s acquiescence and request for it to be used in that manner.”

Both McCorvey and Newman declined to elaborate on the type of foreplay the couple was engaged in or what “dirty cowboy” meant. Newman declined to say if the couple had played the game before.

2. This is very sad and bizarre. I want to give that girl a hug. I hope they go light on her.

3. Doesn't count.

In order to win a darwin award, you have to be the one who dies by killing yourself in a stupid way. It doesn't count when you get killed in a stupid way by someone else or you are the person that killed someone else while engaging in stupid activity.

5. He asked her to use the gun.

I think he qualifies for contention.

6. I disagree

Just like it is assumed that someone robbing you with a gun intends to do you great harm, asking your girlfriend to point a gun at you during sex is assumed to be a Darwin Award Moment. IMHO

I mean, he could have checked to make sure it was unloaded!

8. He should be nommed for the Darwin Award, yes, for asking her to play the game.

She should be nommed for the "Acquiescent Girlfriend" award.

7. actually it is taking yourself, this would have counted,, out of

the gene pool, fatally or not.

4. Where, if I may ask, was the gun when it was fired?

Or, perhaps I should ask where the bullet was found?

9. Is that a gun in your pocket, or...

:hide: Sorry...you knew someone had to say it.
