So here's a more light-hearted theater shooting story than we're used to seeing: A Nevada man shot himself in the buttocks while adjusting himself in his seat during a screening of "The Bourne Legacy" last night. After he shot himself, he apologised to the other patrons and left the theater. The Police later caught up with him, and are considering filing charges against him.
The 56-year-old man had a permit to carry the gun, and according to his testimony to Police and the testimony of witnesses, the gun fell out of his pocket while he adjusted in his seat, hit the floor, and discharged into his buttocks.

It's funny how all the NRA folks like Ted Nugent had said that the Aurora, Colo. shooting could have been stopped if the other movie-goers had been armed. That argument is idiotic, of course, since the shooter, James Holmes, was decked out in body armor. Had anyone in the theater tried to start a fire fight, the shooting would have been more deadly, not less. No one in the theater could have dropped Holmes, and he would have been given more reason to shoot into the crowd.
This genius in Nevada shows us what is most likely to happen when you bring your firearm to the movie theater: shooting your own self in the ass.
We can take a light approach to this dude in Nevada, since to his great fortune he injured no one but himself -- and in such a laughable location! But what if the gun had discharged into someone else? What if the bullet hit the dude some place worse than the buttocks? Because you know what's right next to the buttocks? His peener and veggies. He could have shot his dick off, you guys!
Please, everyone, don't bring your fire arm to the movie theater.
