Ow. Just think if I hadn't been wearing that t-shirt to block the pain. :) I took a paintball to the sternum from about 10 feet away. Ow.

I'd say, "bet that's the last time you messed with his sister's bra" but that's kind of too much information. Probably killed the mood, I bet. Did the kid know powder and pellets were removed, was he just messing around, or was he actually intending to shoot? Holy crap.

Girlfriend and I were on the couch and - well, maybe, OK yes, my hand was somehow entangled in her bra, just when her little brother appeared with their Dad's 12 gauge shotgun in the hallway. In that instant, he leveled the gun a me and pulled the trigger and I saw the flash at the breach of the barrel. At the age of 15, I thought my young life was over. Turns out, I saw a primer flash, but the powder and pellets were removed from the shell. I tell you, that was some scary stuff right there. The flash from within the bore of a 12 Ga is something I hope never to see again. Reading your post reminded me of a deliberate, but non-fatal shooting I experienced back in 1976.
