Arkansas Times
Did you see or hear reports about the University of Arkansas marketing intern who apparently was injured during the football game Saturday by a malfunctioning T-shirt "gun"?
Witnesses heard an explosion and saw someone being taken away on a stretcher with what was described as a leg injury.
A gun on campus? Is that allowed? I guess it depends on how you define gun.
A T-shirt gun, or air cannon, uses high-pressure air tanks to propel shirts. They are a staple in sports arenas. But they are apparently not risk-free.
Earlier this summer, the New York Times wrote about the inventor of the T-shirt gun.
Mike,
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to mention that no one had been charged yet.
And so? This isn't a firearm.
ReplyDeleteWhile it's not relevant to firearms policy, this incident does bring to mind a rule I've made and communicated to all of my friends: If it has the word gun in it, you sure as hell better abide by the four rules with it!
DeleteI made this rule after an "empty" staple gun was not treated as loaded and I wound up with my pocket knife, shirt, and blue jeans stapled to my ass by a party who shall remain nameless.
True, that. I keep my finger off the trigger of a spray bottle until I'm ready to use it, and I don't point the gas nozzle at the pump toward myself. Cooper's rules make a lot of sense in many applications.
DeleteAnd no, the party wasn't me.
