Man Takes Gun to Bed, Accidentally Shoots Girlfriend

2008_09_gunpillow.jpgWorst boyfriend of the week: A Queens man was arrested after shooting his girlfriend, who had been sleeping in bed in their Queens apartment. Police suspect Larry Smith had been cleaning his (illegal) gun when it went off and shot Felicia Crawford in the chest. A police source tells the Post that Smith had the firearm in bed because "He heard a noise and he got up to get his gun." Crawford is in stable condition at Mary Immaculate Hospital. A neighbor says Smith "feels very bad about what happened."

Cue stream of comments calling for even more draconian gun laws -- ignoring the fact that this was an illegally owned gun in the first place.

Its okay
At least he held the King of England at bay and stopped british soldiers from quartering in his home

 

I don't think their relationship will ever be the same...

Call me crazy, but this might hurt his chances of getting any nookie tonight.

 

dumbass.

 

nobody's out to take your guns, limbaugh, relax...

 

Crap...... someone beat me to "dumbass".

 

Everyone who owns a gun gets up in the middle of the night to clean them when they hear a noise.

 

I said, I DON'T WANT TO CUDDLE!

 

This is exactly why I clean my gun in bed. Lucky prick. I guess i will keep trying.

 

you shouldn't be cleaning a gun in bed.

 

So people are really buying his "I was cleaning it" story? OK. I'm sure the cops investigating aren't.

 

I wanted to pop a cap in her ass and I missed.

Yeah sounds fishy to me too.

At least he didn't use the 'some black/mexican guy did it' excuse.

 

Cancel the fertility treatments honey, I'm not shooting blanks!
