Some people are visual and learn better when they are shown how to do something. In this case, the student was shown what not to do and I’m sure that she won’t make the same mistake that her boyfriend did!
An Alexandria man is now recovering after accidentally shooting himself. The accident happened as he was showing his girlfriend how to handle a pistol in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant. I guess it’s lucky that he only shot himself in such a public area!
The 21 year old man told police investigators that he forgot that he’d just reloaded his gun and he squeezed the trigger as he put the gun into the drivers door panel. The bullet went through his inner left thigh.
Police said the man repeatedly told investigators he was ex-military and knows how to handle a gun, and was very embarrassed by the incident.
I suppose this is just one of the reasons why the average citizen is not allowed to have a handgun here in Canada. I’m sure it cuts down on stupid accidents among other things.

Who knew “mooning” could be so dangerous!
A 21 year old Dutch man is recovering after a mooning incident that went horribly wrong.
The injured man and two others decided to run down a street in Utrecht, Netherlands with their pants pulled down as a joke.
At some point the man pushed his behind against a restaurant window and it broke! The broken window resulted in deep wounds in the mans derriere.
Owwww!
Police detained the three mooners after the incident, however the cafe owner has decided not to press charges after the men agreed to pay for the broken window.

Beverly and Ernie Fischer of Morton County gathered up a little more than their cattle when they did their round up this fall. They got a moose! Beverly says “He thinks he is a cow,” said his wife.
Ernie Fischer said it was difficult to get the young bull moose away from the cattle, and workers put it in a separate corral until it could be released.
The moose also broke fences on the ranch 20 miles south of Mandan.
It’s not the only such incident in south central North Dakota this year. Emmons County rancher Sam Gross recently reported a lone bull moose in his cattle herd, and a moose also was spotted in a cattle herd in McIntosh County.
