CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. - A firearms instructor and gun collector shot himself in the leg after he thought his new pistol was in the locked position.

Martin Brill, 55, of Chippewa Falls, was treated at St. Joseph's Hospital Sunday for an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to his thigh he suffered while practicing his "quick draw" technique.

Yep, guns are so dangerous that even firearms instructors and crufflers shoot themselves.
