"Now kids, if this was loaded you would not want to do this ..."
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Monroe County Coroner David Toumey was hospitalized with a leg wound after accidentally shooting himself while trying to demonstrate gun safety.
Toumey told The Herald-Times for a story published Saturday that he was demonstrating gun safety to some people at a Lake Monroe boat ramp about 11 p.m. Wednesday when he accidentally shot himself.
He said that as he checked to make sure his weapon was unloaded, the gun discharged, and a bullet struck him in his left leg.
"It's an unfortunate accident," Toumey said. "I've always been very, very safe."
He was taken to Bloomington Hospital and later transferred to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
Toumey said he was scheduled to have surgery Saturday and expects to be in the hospital from three to five days.
Monroe County Sheriff Steve Sharp said he was unable to release details of the shooting because the report had yet to be filed by the deputy assigned to the case.

"the gun discharged." they always say that. not "i was an idiot and pulled the trigger".
I was taught to never put your finger in the loop until you're ready to fire. along with don't point the gun at anyone. along with check the safety first...etc

This is almost as funny as the story in the Bee a few years back.
An extended family was camping and the father decided to let his 7 year old shoot his 1911.
As the father stood behind & with the rest of the family looking on, the kid fires off a round.
The gun raised up from the recoil, which startled the child, causing him to fire off a 2nd round, which struck the father just behind his chin & exited out the top of his head.
