Pinellas County sheriff's deputies say a 22-year-old man accidentally shot himself in the head while showing his girlfriend a handgun.
Deputies say Chaz Ursomanno was taken to Bay Front Medical Center early Thursday with life-threatening injuries.
According to an incident report, 24-year old Naomi Enselll told her boyfriend to put the gun away about 2 a.m. Thursday. But he told her it was safe and put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. The gun did not fire.
Deputies say he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger again. This time, it went off.
The man was unconscious when deputies arrived.

15. Could be suicide, but I recall a very strong instinct to do stupid and 'daring' |
|
things to shock and impress girls among (some) men in that age group. I imagine all of us here have survived/out-grown that instinct, but I bet a lot of us can look back at displays that should have put us in the hospital (although I'm sure none of us went so far as gun-to-the-head, of course)...

16. By age 17 I had learned that scaring girls was not the best way to get them to warm up to me |

Some men are dipshits, I guess.

This idiot kicked Uncle Chuck in the balls-twice-and Chuck kicked back. Unfortunately, the idiot's girlfriend will be very traumatized by this. I'm also sympathetic toward the idiot's family. And have nothing but contempt for someone stupid enough to put a gun to their head and pull the trigger twice.
