Man Shoots Himself During Quick-Draw Practice

It sounds like another Barney Fife is in the making...A Florida man is recovering after making a painful mistake over the weekend. The "Fort Myers News-Press" is reporting that Lazaro Flores was hospitalized Sunday after he accidentally shot himself in the lower right leg. The incident occurred while the 50-year-old was practicing his quick-draw technique. While putting his 32-caliber 1871 revolver back in its holster, Flores accidentally pulled the trigger. The Cape Coral resident was taken to Gulf Coast Hospital where the bullet was removed from his leg, and he was treated for his injuries.
