    I can’t tell if you’re joking or not because that’s actually a good explanation… Even if you’re on a wheelchair, I can’t imagine having a lump of metal in/on/under your shoe being comfortable at all if you have a real foot.

      If his claim is true he probably had an ankle or boot holster. Taking off his boot dislodged his gun and it fell to the ground discharging. I could not imagine the blisters from trying to walk around with a loose gun in my boot, a crease in my sock is above my threshold.

        A crease? If I know my fairy tales there’s a good chance you’re a princess, Jim.

          Have you ever walked around with a wadded up sock?

            You’re right it’s the worst.

      It would be extremely ironic if he had a prostetic leg and was shot by his own gun in the other one. It was a joke.
