Quran-Burning Pastor's Gun Accidentally Goes Off In Michigan (Terry Jones)

Just when you thought the sad saga of Quran-burning Florida pastor Terry Jones couldn't get more absurd...

According to Southfield, Michigan police, Jones' .40-caliber handgun fired accidentally as he was leaving a television studio there on Thursday night. This is presumably the same handgun he said he intended to bring to his planned anti-sharia law protest in Dearborn, Michigan on Friday, though he's said he's come to Dearborn "totally in peace."

Police told The Detroit Free Press that Jones was getting into the passenger side of his car at 11:10 p.m. Thursday night, after an interview at the TV station, when the gun went off, putting a bullet into the floorboard.

"Officers heard a gunshot, approached the vehicle, asked Mr. Jones if he was OK," Southfield Police Lt. Nick Loussia said. "He was, and they also observed he had a gun in his hand."

3. An idiot.
If a person is determined to kill Jones, he is dead. He can't stay awake 24x7, he can't regulate who pass him in hallways or streets. Having a gun will just mean that he will be armed when killed. My wish is for Jones to live a long life because I don't want him to become a christian nutcase martyr, but I fear that wish for a long life for Jones is futile.
