Ohio police chief accidentally shoots himself
Guns have been receiving a lot of attention in the news lately. I can’t open a news page without reading a headline with the word “gun” in it.
Today was actually a good day for gun crimes in the news. The only major headline I noticed was a self inflicted gunshot. Idiots around the world accidentally shoot themselves every day, but this next story is unique.
54-year-old Greg Schwarber is Middletown, Ohio’s police chief. On Friday, Greg accidentally shot himself in the thigh after giving his daughter a gun safety lesson. That’s a normal daddy-daughter activity, right?
Greg had finished the lesson with his daughter, and was cleaning the gun when it fired into his leg. He had forgot the gun was still loaded. Five minutes ago, he was teaching another person how to handle a gun.
That’s like a lumberjack being crushed by a falling tree after teaching his son how to cut it down.
Oddly enough, the hospital Greg was taken to had no record of him being treated or admitted. Hmmm… I’m sure the Middletown Police Department will make a comment like, “This was a freak accident and we’re just happy that everyone is OK.”
I am not satisfied by this. Greg Schwarber should not be allowed to own a gun or even look at a gun ever again.
I have owned and handled several guns in my life. The golden rule to avoid shooting yourself or others is to always assume the gun is loaded. Even if you’re positive that it’s unloaded, don’t point it at yourself, idiot. And for Christ’s sake, don’t pull the trigger on it.
This is why I hate Ohio.
Very ironic, Haha.
Oh how I hate Ohio state.
wow!
and he is a police man?
jajaja
he reminds me of that guy from reno 911 that can’t shoot for shit

“I am not satisfied by this. Greg Schwarber should not be allowed to own a gun or even look at a gun ever again.”
Yes, and everyone who has a car accident should never be allowed to drive or own a car ever again either!!!
That’s ALSO true! I’ve never been in a car accident, so I’d still be driving.
What a great suggestion
