Sleepwalking dangerous to your health

This one is short and sweet, but really, just one I couldn't resist.

Wake-up call: Sleepwalking Colo. man shoots himself

A Colorado man shot himself in the left knee early yesterday while sleepwalking, the Boulder Daily Camera reports.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Sanford Rothman, 63, told police he woke up to a "bang" around 2 a.m. and discovered the wound. He couldn't clearly recall how it happened, but police determined he apparently shot himself while sleepwalking. He was treated at a local hospital and released.
Of course he doesn’t recall how it happened, he didn’t wake up until he heard the bang.

Does anyone see trial lawyers filing this one in the back of their heads for use later? “No, your honor, my client doesn’t know how the gun that killed his wife ended up in his hands, he was asleep.”

The police report stated that Rothman, who was alone in the house, keeps a 9mm handgun near his bed and that he takes prescription pain medication. No illegal drugs or alcohol were involved, police added.

Issue number one: He takes prescription pain medication. Should we really let him around firearms?

Issue number two: No one should keep a gun “near their bed” unless it is in a gun safe which is also near their bed. End of story. ESPECIALLY if you are prone to sleepwalking.

This dude deserved to shoot himself in his leg – karma paying him back for being an idiot. (Just like Plaxico Burress.)
