You got it backwards. Next time you get shot, post the pics first, then the back-story.

That sucks.

I'm no expert on wounds but pain depends an awful lot on where you get hit. I got a knife embedded in my leg and it barely hurt at all.

Glad you're alive, and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Refer your friend to:

for an explanation of why you're beating the snot out of him with a baseball bat one handed.

You might want to post those pics in the OP... that's the first place most people check... or say "PICS PG2" in the subject line.

So please detail how your friend "wound" up shooting you... We are all very curious.

Hope you have a very speedy recovery.

What type of rounds were you carrying?

Posted: 11/29/2009 7:43:11 PM EDT

[#21]

holy shit.

Lets hope your friend turns out to be a real friend and doesn't disappear when you go after him for the $20,000 flight and medical expenses. Hope you're a lefty

what part of FL and how do you like those safety triggers?

Another member I don't want to meet. Or your friend...

P.S. Glad you're OK.

Not sure how it happened, I was surfing Arfcom and BOOM. Yes he is a dumbass. I haven't written him off yet. The SXT functioned as advertised and it's sitting on my kitchen table, pics when I get home. I'm making a necklace out of it.

Reason I'm typing so well is I'm one handing it on my iPhone in my hospital bed. I'm 20, I just look 12. lol

Again, why was your friend handling your loaded G19, apparently behind you?

I didnt know craig feldspar was a gun owner. Was it malcom or dewey that shot you?

OP sure does type well for someone who just got shot in the arm.

All arfcommers have excellent skills at typing one handed.

Good luck and push through the therapy.

You don't want to lose any ROM while so young.

He picked it up to unload it I assume.

just be glad he didn't unload the rest of the magazine

Posted: 11/29/2009 7:47:43 PM EDT

[#37]

How did it happen ? I hope you have good insurance to pay for all that.

What does your friend have to say about it ?

Good luck and get well

Posted: 11/29/2009 7:47:47 PM EDT

The rules say that since he shot you, you get to shoot him.

You could offer to lighten the sentence...you get to beat him with a baseball bat one day a year for ten years.

Glad I don't live next to you -
In what way is this funny or "cool" to the point you want a necklace made out of the bullet??

I am glad it was not removed from some innocent person's head,
Good grief

Quoted:

Saturday night my friend accidentally negligently shot me with my G19. It went in above my elbow at an angle, coming out below the elbow in my forearm. Round was a Winchester Ranger SXT 127gr +P+. The bullet grazed my left knee. It shattered my elbow and bruised some nerves and tore up a tendon. I had surgery this morning and they put a plate and screws in it, the ball of the joint was in two or three pieces as well as the socket. They repaired the tendon and did a bone graft.

I was surprised, I thought it was going to hurt a lot more initially. I'm not one to take pain easily but I didn't cry at all. I know it hurts now and the physical therapy involved is gonna hurt like a mofo.

Pics of wounds and xrays soon.

Glad you're still sucking air on your own.

Kid you need a better class of friend. Try one that understands fireams safety, can keep his booger hook off the trigger and for god's sake don't let him sweep you with a weapon. Glad you will be okay.
