If Guns Are Outlawed…..
How will idiots get tattoos? Two geniuses in New Mexico managed to shoot themselves when the loaded .357 magnum they were tracing to make a pattern for a tattoo went off. Yes, you read that correctly. They managed to both get lead tattoos, so to speak.
Robert Glasser and Joey Acosta, both 22, were treated at a hospital in El Paso, Texas, after the shooting Thursday evening in nearby Chaparral.
Authorities said Glasser was struck in the hand when the gun accidentally went off, and Acosta was hit in the left arm. Their injuries were not life-threatening, authorities said.
The scars will undoubtedly last just as long as the planned tattoo. Considering the point-blank nature of the injuries, there is likely quite a bit of gun shot residue tattooed under their skins, as well.

Two runners up for the Darwin Awards?

Ok I’m going speculate that the unfinished tracing has a clear outline of a revolver with the hammer cocked and then about 1/2 complete outline of a trigger. Doh!
