One of the joys of everyone “packing heat” in Florida: Gun Accidentally Fires, Hits Chili’s Customer
MELBOURNE, Fla. — A gun belonging to a customer inside a Chili’s restaurant in Melbourne accidentally discharged, hitting a nearby person eating dinner, according to police.
Police said officers were called to the restaurant at 955 Wickham Road just after 11:30 p.m. Friday.
When officers arrived, they found the victim had suffered a gunshot wound to the lower leg in a dining area of the restaurant.
That’s why guns should be left in the hands of the people with training, like the military…or, maybe not: Misfired artillery crashes into girl’s bed
JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP, New Jersey (AP) — A piece of artillery that was apparently misfired by the military crashed through the roof of a New Jersey home miles away Friday and injured a young girl’s cat, which had to be euthanized, officials said.
No people were injured when the two-pound piece hit the Jefferson Township home about two-and-a- half miles from the Picatinny Arsenal and landed in the girl’s bed, said Peter Rowland, arsenal spokesman. She wasn’t home, but her cat was sleeping on the bed.

No people were injured, but how did the cat fare?
and didnt the florida legislature just pass a law allowing people to bring their guns to work
makes perfect sense
The cat had to be put down because of the injuries.
This year’s gun law doesn’t hold a candle to last year’s “gunfight at the Wal-Mart parking lot” law, that essentially said that you could gun down anyone you felt threatened you, any where, any time, with no need to back off or leave if it was possible. In normal states, for a given value of normal, people are expected to avoid violent confrontations, but not in Florida after last year.
