So what pistol should I get?

Authorities say drugs and alcohol were found at the scene of an accidental shooting last week.

Byron John Lewis Watts, 24, faces six criminal charges following an incident in which he allegedly shot and injured Zachary Dostal with a .22 caliber pistol last week, leaving Dostal in stable condition but having suffered a punctured lung.

Court documents do not indicate if Watts was high on drugs when he allegedly shot Dostal, but Watts tested positive for opiates and marijuana following the incident.

TUSCUMBIA, Ala. – Colbert County has reached the top of a ranking that no one would ever want to be on. Over a 15-year period, police saw more accidental shooting deaths than anyone in the country.

“It should probably be an eye opener,” said Tuscumbia Police Chief Tony Logan.

The numbers are not too staggering, but they’re still disturbing, Logan added. Between 1999 and 2014, the Centers for Disease Control shows 22 people in Colbert County died from accidental gun shots. That’s more per capita than any other county in the nation.

“It factored out suicide, it factored out homicide, and it strictly dealt with accidental,” stated Logan. “This tells me, we probably need to do a better job as far as training of civilians.”

Edit: I guess that Gary wants to play the tit-for-tat game, where for every one of his edge cases, we are "supposed" to ante up with a case of a good use of a gun. Sigh. It's a stupid game. I won't play.
