    Man accidentally shot self in leg, not man shot in leg. Man please admit you did it to yourself instead of having people think someone did it to you. Mannnn, take your LICK AND KEEP IT MOVING. Just happy a innocent person did not get hit or worse behind foolish gunplay.

        POLICE AIN’T RECOVER NO DAMN GUN. THE THING I DONT UNDERSTAND IS THE US IS A BIG PLACE AND THEY BE CATCHING THE CRIMINALS, HERE IS A LITTLE 2x4 ISLAND WHERE DAMN NEAR EVERYONE KNOWS EACH OTHER AND UP IN EVERYONES GRILL AKA BUSINESS AND THEY GOT SO MANY UNSOLVED MURDERS AND KILLERS WALKING AROUND. YOU WOULD THINK RIGHT?

          I was thinking the same exact thing. We live on this little DOT that was formed from a volcano and can be covered in less than an hour from East to West and and a few back roads and we have so many criminals and killers walking the streets and they can’t find them? I would agree, everyone knows everyone, they know everyone’s business and they are always sticking their noses in everyone’s business. And a big place like the US be reeling them in. I’m following the story about the 4 college students in Moscow Idaho who was brutally stabbed to death in their off campus house while they were asleep in November, the killer drove cross Country from Idaho to Penservania

    So was this firearm legal?
    No arrest warranted for this man with a self-inflicted wound from his illegal firearm?
    What a farce this BVI
    Example
    You operating a fast go boat?with passengers including infant children no life saving equipment on board fatal accident with woman and child ..where is the arrest for the murders
    What a farce this BVI
    Open complicity in all of the extreme and frequent crimes
