| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] An Illinois man is facing two felony firearms charges after accidentally shooting himself in his sleep while dreaming about a home invasion. Mark Dicara, 62, mistakenly believed a burglar was breaking into his home after he dozed off on the night of April 10. While dreaming he was fending off a criminal, he grabbed his .357 Magnum revolver and fired a shot into the darkness, only to wake himself up after inadvertently shooting himself in the leg. Dicara was rushed to hospital when police found him losing a 'significant amount of blood', and investigators would later discover he used the revolver without a state-mandated Firearm Owners Identification Card. No one else was harmed, and authorities quickly established that no home invasion had ever occurred in the home. It was concluded that Dicara violated Illinois state firearms law as while he previously owned an identification card, it had been revoked. Officials have not confirmed the reasons his license was revoked, or when it occurred. According to his LinkedIn profile, Dicara is a semi-retired attorney licensed to practice law in Illinois and Wisconsin. |

| #4 The fact that the state fails to provide the necessary security that causes a man to do such is an indictment of the state, not the man. |
