Near Fatal Samurai Sword Accident

Alright, you tape this apple to your head and I will chop it in half with a samurai sword. I don't know about you but I would not be at either end of this deal. I guess we know who got the short end of the stick.

When bullets bite back - Guy hit in head with .50 caliber ricochet

This short video is a prime example of the dangers of gun play. Fortunately this man was not killed and apparently barely injured

6 year old brings loaded .45 caliber gun to 1st grade class

VICTORVILLE, Calif. (AP)

-In a shocking event, A 6 year old boy brought a loaded handgun to his Southern California elementary school and it wasn't discovered until recess when he was sent to the campus office because his pants were sagging.

-Apparently the .45-caliber handgun slipped down the first-grader's pant leg, Wednesday, while a clerk at the Victorville school was helping him put on a belt. San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Karen Hunt says the boy took the gun from his father's vehicle.

-Investigators in the town about 80 miles west of Los Angeles say the weapon was stolen during a November robbery. The boy's father Michael Lewis has now been arrested and booked for investigation of receiving stolen property and possession of a firearm by a felon.

-The 6-year-old boy, who will be expelled under the school's zero-tolerance weapons policy, has been released to the custody of his mother.

World's smallest pistol. Austria 2mm pinfire miniature guns

These are some of the smallest working pistols in the world. The first time I watched this video I could not believe you could actually load a miniature bullet in and fire it. Apparently there are only blanks available for this miniature gun.

These guns are not being sold at the moment but you can find a collection of miniature guns for sale at Bob Urso's webpage.

Miniature firearms are dangerous and proper gun handling procedres should be applied

Misloaded gun saves man's life, and ends another's

Johannesburg
- A Daveyton man is alive and a robber dead on Thursday after assailants tried to shoot the man with a gun that misfired, Gauteng police said.

-The 36-year old man was walking to work at 04:00 when he was confronted by three robbers, said Captain Alfred Nakana.

-"The robbers demanded cash and his cellphone at gunpoint," he said.
One of the robbers tried to shoot the 36-year-old but luckily his weapon jammed.
"His firearm was loaded with different kinds of ammunition," said Nakana.

-This gave the 36-year-old man enough time to draw and fire his own licenced firearm, shooting his assailant.

-Nakana said the robber, in his twenties, died instantly. His two accomplices fled the scene. The misloaded gun was unlicensed and stolen, said Nakana.

-A case of attempted armed robbery and possession of a stolen firearm had been opened. Nakana said police were still looking for the other two robbers.

Man dies of gun wounds 35 years after being shot


Wednesday January 7, 2009
-Craig Buford was just 19 years old when he went to pick up a girlfriend from school in Denver and wound up in a card game with some other guys gathered at the campus parking lot.
He won some money and one of the guys he was gambling with demanded his money back. Craig refused, and the suspect took out his gun and shot him.

-Despite his injuries, he was able to drive himself to a local hospital and informet the police of the 17-year-old suspect who shot him. Craig was later released from the hospital in good health, and moved on with his life, left Colorado and moved to Seattle, and finally settled down in Texas.

-He got married and rarely talked about the day he was shot all those years ago.

-And then in December, the now 54-year-old Buford began having health problems. He went into the hospital where doctors performed surgery and discovered that his colon had ruptured.

-He died December 29th and doctors say it was the result of organ failure from complications of the bullet wound inflicted all those years ago.

-Now authorities have a new problem. They've ruled his death a homicide but can't find the man they believe pulled the trigger. Computer records are non-existent from 1973 and many of the files on what was then a non-fatal incident have long since disappeared. And police fear they may never be able to charge anyone in connection to the man's death.

-"After 35 years has passed, that might be a pretty tall order," admits Lynn Kimbrough of the Denver District Attorney's Office.
His widow, already reeling from the loss of her spouse, is stunned that her husband's death is being called a murder. "He never had any serious health problems, so I was a little surprised to hear all this homicide business after all these years," Carolyn Buford told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.


-Buford adds her husband never made a big deal about the incident, and even ran into the suspect once later in life. "He said the guy was kind of scared about seeing him," she told the paper. "He told him, 'Just forget about it. It's over with."'
But as his death proves, it really wasn't.
