The 66-year-old Washington man was repairing his car outside his home when the accident happened, BBC News reports. Frustrated with the inability to loosen the wheel nut, the man pulled out a 12-gauge shot gun and blasted it at the wheel. Buckshot and debris sprayed back onto the man, giving him severe but not life threatening injuries. The debris flung back on to his feet and all the way to his abdomen, with some fragments reaching as far up as his chin. Police said the man was not intoxicated at the time. He had been working on his Lincoln Continental for a fortnight, police said. "He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," said Deputy Scott Wilson, a spokesman from the sheriff's office. <!--=========================OnInit - Start GPC is not enabledOnInit - End ==================================================OnLoad - Start getCountData - Start Checking Cache Key: Countidx_stories0|0|6|usp_getTopXArticles Count Data cache exists, hence use it Count # of records : 0 getCountData - End page size:10 page number:1 total count:0 Calculate Paging information Generic ID is: 6 Getting data from DB GetData - Start Processing paging Generic ID checking Checking Cache Key: Cachedidx_stories0|0|6|usp_getTopXArticles Cache exists, hence use it Cached dataview # of rows: 6 GetData - End OnDataBinding - Start dataview is not nothing Getting enumerator of the dataview Processing the paging OnDataBinding - EndOnLoad - End=========================Ninemsn.Global.TemplateDataControl, Version=5.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=fda777673aecc5e2--><LINK href="/css/article_style.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet><SCRIPT src="/share/com/ugc/Js/MiscLibrary.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT><SCRIPT language=javascript type=text/javascript>var JS_OMNI_TOOLS= "ART~~322879";</SCRIPT><!--=========================OnInit - Start GPC is not enabledOnInit - End ==================================================OnLoad - Start getCountData - Start Checking Cache Key: Countidx_stories0|0|6|usp_getTopXArticles Count Data cache exists, hence use it Count # of records : 0 getCountData - End page size:10 page number:1 total count:0 Calculate Paging information Generic ID is: 6 Getting data from DB GetData - Start Processing paging Generic ID checking Checking Cache Key: Cachedidx_stories0|0|6|usp_getTopXArticles Cache exists, hence use it Cached dataview # of rows: 6 GetData - End OnDataBinding - Start dataview is not nothing Getting enumerator of the dataview Processing the paging OnDataBinding - EndOnLoad - End=========================Ninemsn.Global.TemplateDataControl, Version=5.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=fda777673aecc5e2--><!--=========================OnInit - Start GPC is not enabledOnInit - End ==================================================OnLoad - Start getCountData - Start Checking Cache Key: Countidx_stories0|0|6|usp_getTopXArticles Count Data cache exists, hence use it Count # of records : 0 getCountData - End page size:10 page number:1 total count:0 Calculate Paging information Generic ID is: 6 Getting data from DB GetData - Start Processing paging Generic ID checking Checking Cache Key: Cachedidx_stories0|0|6|usp_getTopXArticles Cache exists, hence use it Cached dataview # of rows: 6 GetData - End OnDataBinding - Start dataview is not nothing Getting enumerator of the dataview Processing the paging OnDataBinding - EndOnLoad - End=========================Ninemsn.Global.TemplateDataControl, Version=5.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=fda777673aecc5e2-->

Since when is a shotgun a 'hand gun'??? Only hand shotgun Ive ever known about was a 20Ga 'boot pistol'. And the last time they were legal in -this- country was prior to 1934, when they were outlawed by the Volsted Act. Ive experienced some lug nuts that had been over torqued by an ignoramus with an impact wrench - but I would have hunted down and shot that ignoramus and then his impact wrench ;-) ************** Just came back to correct an error - It wasnt the volstead act - that was prohibition. Senility is a ..... what was I going to say ??? It was the National Firearms Act of 1934 !! I apologize.
The BBC was reporting this? Is England that boring that this is news half way around the world? Pretty funny, though.
Didn't work huh?He must off used shells that were intended for either l.h. or metric nuts...sheesh ! V7(Steve)
It was posted by someone else in there too! I found it after I read the article on the AUSTRALIAN news site, and thought it was perfect for an O/T topic here! Cheers, Glen.
damm..doesn't he know that you use a deer slug, and not buckshot for loosening lug nuts ??? it's called urban renewal.....
