Man "guarding" "Muslim Free" gun store in Oklahoma accidentally shoots himself

Thought everyone could use a good laugh.

OKTAHA, Oklahoma - The Muskogee County sheriff said a member of the group guarding an Oktaha gun shop accidentally shot himself Tuesday.
Sheriff Charles Pearson said the man dropped his gun and a bullet hit him in the arm. The sheriff did not identify the man or offer any other details about what happened.

The group of armed citizens and veterans is standing guard outside the Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gear store after the owners said they received death threats from all over the world for putting up a sign saying Muslims weren't welcome.

All you stupid gun-humping nitwits just go home. Nobody needs your dubious protection. Luckily the only one hurt this time was one of the nitwits. Next time (and there will be a next time), it could be some bystander. I hope the bystander (or his estate) names the NRA and Fox News as co-defendants.

They would have been better off with Barney Fife providing security. He would
have kept his bullet in his shirt pocket and there would be no harm done.
