I hope they learned a lesson.

My son just told me the other day that someone we know had a gun under his pillow. Somehow it discharged and he was shot in the femur.

I've posted here before about the time I went to bed and discovered my then-husband had his 357 Magnum under MY pillow. We had words. Many words.

I guess I don't understand the level of paranoia that would cause someone to endanger the lives of everyone in their house by doing something so stupid.
