Is she a friend/relative of Beavis and Butthead?
A PERTH woman has been shot in the face by a spud gun as she peered down the barrel of the homemade weapon. The 24-year-old received serious facial injuries when hit in the face with a solid paper ball after the gun accidentally fired. Police said she had found her boyfriend's gun, designed to fire potatoes and other projectiles at high speed, in a shipping container in their backyard.
She picked it up and looked down the barrel as she placed it on the ground. "But the spud-gun ignition switch fired and a solid paper ball hit her in the face," a police spokesman said. | NRA Life Member note: Always treat every gun like it's loaded. |
