Wicked BB Gun

James Lileks, in running down the crime report for his city, recalls a BB gun incident:

My cousin shot me in the butt with a BB gun when we were out in the woods at the farm once. To paraphrase Johnny Cash: he shot a man in Harwood / Just to see him cry. So I can tell you what it feels like: it hurts.

“A man was at the hospital with a BB-gun wound to his arm. He said that he and a buddy were joking around and shot themselves with a BB gun to see what it was like. Police told the man he could not shoot the BB gun inside the city limits.”

Bonus line:

“Police also advised him not to shoot himself.”

When shooting BB guns at people, it's best to shoot at others, not yourself. Distance and denim is your friend.

Oh, and no more than two pumps with those fancy BB guns. They can hurt.
