Man Hurt Using Shotgun to Loosen Lug Nut

SOUTHWORTH, Wash.

A man trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut blasted the wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in both legs, sheriff's deputies said.

The 66-year-old man had been repairing a Lincoln Continental for two weeks at his home northwest of Southworth, about 10 miles southwest of Seattle, and had gotten all but one of the lug nuts off the right rear wheel by Saturday afternoon, Kitsap County Deputy Scott Wilson said.

"He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," Wilson said.

From about arm's length, the man fired the shotgun at the wheel and was "peppered" in both legs with buckshot and debris, with some injuries as high as his chin, according to a sheriff's office report.

"Nobody else was there and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said.

The man was taken to Tacoma General Hospital with injuries Wilson described as severe but not life-threatening.

Always use a shot gun. They're one of the best do it all tools you can find.

He made it this far because natural selection got tossed out the window years ago when we as a society became more capable of caring for, healing and reviving the truly idiodic. 150 years ago his dumbness probably would have put him in the grave. But today and lucky for him, he had just enough sense to go to the really smart people for some fix'n. He probably pumped out 4-8 kids who did the same and so on. It's the dumbing down of the planet.

A can of WD-40 would have done the trick, Had he sprayed them and left it on over night.

Legs full of buckshot, Hmmm, Nah, That's alright, I'll pass

He was literally blowing nuts off
