A Texas gunman's prosthetic arm fell off when he used it to brandish a
weapon while demanding more beer at an El Paso tavern.
Officers arrested Dale Smith after he threatened employees of Incredibles
Lounge with an air gun and burned one of the waitresses with a cigarette
after staff refused him more alcohol.
Police said Mr Smith was being escorted out of the bar when he pulled out
his weapon, only to have it - and his false arm - fall to the floor.He has
been charged with aggravated assault.

What an idiot..you would think he would carry his gun on his "strong" side. How the hell would you pull the trigger with a prosthetic arm anyways? I think it would be much better if he would customize his arm where he could simply remove his hand to expose an 8" double sided blade. Thats what I would do anyways, or would I just go with the old tried and true hook? The world may never know.

People like that give other gun owners a bad name poping off and trying to pull a gun to get his way no wonder they try to ban guns.

Hey, it could have been his left arm instead of his right.
