Man angry at solicitor fires rifle, hits own car

[ccharles000]

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. -A door-to-door solicitor apparently rubbed a Michigan man the wrong way, prompting him to grab a rifle and fire two shots — one of which hit his own car. Police said the 20-year-old apparently was intoxicated when the solicitor paid a visit Monday afternoon. In irritation, they said he fired once inside and once outside the suburban Detroit house.

One shot struck the resident's car, but no one was hurt.

Lt. Luke Riley told the Detroit Free Press police arrested the man, who's expected to face charges of illegally discharging a firearm.

1. On the bright side, he probably won't be drunk driving for awhile.

2. A gun at close hand is always the answer.

Or something.

3. I'm thinking he might want to consider rehab and an anger management class or two

:shrug:

Glad the solicitor wasn't hit. I mean, sucks to do that for a living and all, but he certainly doesn't deserve to be shot at.

4. The solicitor should have been armed, too.

6. And the car.

8. I want a gun that comes with another gun built in.

Fuck it, I'm cutting right to the chase. ;)

10. As a matter of principle, yes, he should have been.

However, that does not imply that the outcome would have been any different.
