you can watcher Homer shoot Lisa's ball off the roof and intuitively you know no one is that stupid. But it takes this knucklehead to prove you wrong.

This is why I am against any sort of legalized handguns in the States. Sure, you may be responsible, raised by your daddy to know handgun procedure BLAH BLAH...but when just ONE idiot like this gets his hands on one, and your whole argument goes out the window. And there is a lot more than just ONE idiot like this.
perhaps he was using an AK47 - clearly assault weapons are a right for every american - after all, what else are you going to use to kill a mouse?

Nobody's smart enough to own a gun. It just isn't worth the risk. Maybe we should just have a combination geographic/IQ test/political gun screening process.
Geographic: No one from Mississippi, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, or New Jersey is allowed to own a gun.
IQ: Must be at least 140.
Political: Liberals only.
Basically, it's like holding public office--the only people who deserve it are the ones who don't want it.
I kind of think he made it up or is a very bad shot. Seems to me the mouse would be at floor level. If his girlfriend walked in the line of fire, shouldn't she have been hit in the ankle? Either way he's an idiot.
Maybe the girlfriend was the mouse's bodyguard, and she lept in front in slow motion screaming "noooooo!" Well, honey, you told me to get a job.
But seriously, it sounds like a lie to me. Think about the angles. I think he shot her by mistake and she didn't want him to get in trouble so they made up this story together.

I suspect it's crap, too.. but you're the second person who totally failed trigonometry to post this fallacy.broken_keyboard said:
Let's DO think about the angles. Unless you get prone, you are firing downward, at an angle. As any 8th grader could tell you, the length of the base of the right triangle (your distance to the mouse) inversely relates to the angle at the top. So, the closer the girlfriend is to the gun (relative to her distance from the mouse) the higher up on her body the bullet will hit her. To get hit in the ankle, she would have to be standing right next to the mouse.

If the bullet bouced, yes she could have been hit in the arm. Unless they had tile floor, I don't think a .22 would bounce. Even though shooting any gun in the house is dumb, you would think he would at least tell his girl to stay away while he protects her from Mighty Mouse.

It is the....LAND MINE!
Why do I get this image of those remote sentry weapons platforms in the condor in the movie Aliens firing at a mouse in the hall of a house. The numbers run from 1,000 to 0 and all that is standing is the mouse with the house demolished.
Can we safely assume that they aren't an item anymore?
*whines* Oh come on honey it's only a flesh wound. Give me a second chance. I won't shoot you again honest.
Next week he caps her again while trying to turn off the kitchen lights with his gun.

What the freaking hell is THAT?!?!?! I've heard of elephant guns but WTF? Dinosaur guns?
So what if he'd have killed her? No witnesses? A chance to get out of murder? I think this is stupid. Mice are harmless anyway and guns are stupid in my view. But that's enough of that - i don't want this to get political
I still fail to see the funny side though

hmmm well i dont think that would work. . . it looks like it would take at least two people to fire that. and it doesnt look like the mouse hunter and his gf are not very bright so i doubt they would be able to coordinate an attack on the mouse with one of those! heh. . . where did that picture come from?!!!!
