Man Intentionally Shoots Own Foot To Know How It Feels Like

In Colorado, a very curious man has been issued a warrant for firing a gun on his foot.

Huffington Post reports that 30-year-old Adam Hirtle is being investigated for prohibited use of weapon and reckless endangerment after he shot his foot, just to know how it feels like with or without his boot.

Hirtle claimed that he intentionally pulled the trigger of a 0.22 caliber hand gun to his foot twice, Wednesday night. While he was in his garage, he took off his boot and fired the first shot. He then shoved his foot back to the boot and fired the second shot.

Too bad no one has mentioned Hirtle's conclusion on the difference each shot was in terms of pain level.

Hirtle could also be possibly charged of child abuse for discharging a gun in the presence of young children. Fortunately, the Colorado Springs resident did not suffer serious injuries.

This isn't the first incident of this nature as self-firing incidents have harmed many people all over the world.

In Medero, Mexico, a 21-year-old man has even killed himself while he was taking a selfie and shot himself in the head without knowing the gun was loaded.

Another selfie incident happened just last month, when a 21-year-old Russian woman fell into a serious medical condition after unintentionally pulling the trigger to her temple, while taking a selfie with the office guard's gun.

Accidental gunshots are also common among people in rage, just like the case of a 36-year-old man when he accidentally shot his leg while flashing his weapon to another driver in a road rage in Orlando, Florida.

A teenager also shot his leg while he was clearing a 0.22 caliber rifle, in an attempt to scare his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend in Fresno, California.

Another leg injury was sustained by a 35-year-old pet-owner, when his dog kicked the trigger of his 9mm gun and fired a bullet. The man was driving without expecting his dog to shoot him when he placed his gun on the floor.

But then again it was just an accident, different from Adam Hirtle's almost-suicide.
