Investigate what? The manner in which the gun slipped from his hand? Or that it fired when dropped?

Good reminder to treat guns as though they can be dangerous if mishandled, though.

Did he try catching the falling pistol?

Lets not overlook the real problem in this story, which is fire departments using ambulances.

If we keep this shit up Gods going to land a giant asteroid straight ontop of us.

I would need to know the specific location of the spouse before commenting further.........

I've basically given up hope on my asteroid wish. It's coming up on five years now with no luck.

+1 for Israeli carry on the mean streets of Lexington.

Is that a threat or a promise?

Never mind. Don't care. Just grab some paint so we can paint the bullseye for him. Flip a coin: DC or Middle East?

 

[VTski4x4]

Lexington - I'm betting Sig or Staccato. Nothing like buying a $3k pistol that isn't drop safe. My money is on the story being BS.

Might have been a Staccato.

Lexington = really expensive Series 70 1911/2011

Yeah, that checks out.

So, he was trying to kill himself and is a moron? Or he was screwing around and he’s a moron?

 

[Rocky Mosasaurus]

I don’t know if he’ll be able to face reality after this one.

How will he save face now?

He told his gay lover he wanted a facial…not whatever this was!

List more idioms below! I’ll be here all week!

Being wealthy, doesn't necessarily mean having common sense!

"I dropped it and it went off" sounds a lot better than "I was spinning it on my finger like a cartoon cowboy and forgot to see if there was one in the chamber."

 

[paul73]

Investigate what?

an amount of punishment to be applied for owning a gun in lexington, of course.

Tell it to this guy,

Harold A. Schaitberger​

In the late 1980s he lead the charge to get the fire service into EMS. His mantra was "Jobs, Jobs, Jobs" because he realized that fewer and fewer big fires were happening and taking over EMS was the way to keep IAFF members employed.

My first thought was failed suicide attempt, but this is also plausible.

Yeah it worked so well my department closed 60% of its stations during the 80s and 90s and cut staffing by 50%.

They probably run 10x the call volume with half the resources.

Both the IAFF and the Fire Chief's Union (IAFC) were all in on this. Of course none of them had to get up at 03:00 to stand around and look at an elderly lady in her nightgown while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

I'll be honest with you. I have serious misgivings on the veracity of that quote, but I'm not going to check on it. I'm satisfied to leave it alone. I recently made the same decision wrt to the original meter stick being ever so slightly off, and I am ok with that. That captures the essence of Sleepy Joe, who had finally beaten Medicare.

Im not denying that. Clearly influencial people pushed it.

It was a huge miscalculation though.

Commercial sure as shit isn’t the answer!!!!

EMS should be part of fire, but its own thing within the fire service. Why, cause Fire medics go durrrrrrr……..

 

[Garys]

I can say that for some departments, it's a matter of existence. If not for EMS, they'd be volunteer agencies.
