A former priest, who was also an anger management counselor, has been sentenced to a year in prison after he decided to pull a gun on two men during a traffic dispute.
Jose Luis Avila of Annandale, Virginia, was driving his vehicle when he encountered two men who he believed were standing in the middle of the road and making obscene gestures.
Avila, an anger management counselor, decided to pull out his loaded handgun and point it at the men in the street. These two men turned out to be U.S. Marshals.
Avila pleaded guilty to his charge of assaulting a federal officer, and was sentenced to twelve months in prison and ordered to take anger management courses.
Nothing greater than reading a story about an anger management counselor who himself gets angry, pulls a gun out during a dispute, and then gets ordered to take anger management courses.
Makes you kind of wonder how many other people out there are just driving around with a loaded handgun.
An unidentified Seattle man has become the victim of a gunshot wound to his testicles, caused by himself.
Police report that the man entered a department store in Lynnwood, WA, with a handgun strapped to his waistband. Around noon, the gun accidentally went off, injuring his testicles, leg, and foot.
Luckily, no one else was hurt in the incident. The man was rushed to the hospital and his condition is unknown at this time.
I am sure that his condition is not good, even though he is probably going to survive. This is why you do not keep guns next to your junk. It's not like what you see in the movies, you don't just put a gun into your waistband and cover it up. All it takes is one accident like this and goodbye balls.
And why did he have a concealed weapon while entering a department store? One can only speculate, but if he was going to rob the store, he learned a very valuable lesson.
