CALVERT, MD, 7/23/13: Cara Keene heard three gunshots in the distance last week while cleaning her bedroom, but the 9-year-old girl paid little attention because her North East-area home is in a relatively rural area where hunters and target shooters commonly discharge their weapons in nearby fields and woods. Seconds later, however, Cara heard a strange, scary sound—all too close—and she sprinted upstairs to alert her mother, Nicole Keene. “The bullet went through the window and then hit a stud in the wall. It ricochetted and wound up in her toys,” Chris said. Seconds before that bullet pierced the house, Cara had been standing in front of that very bedroom window. “We are not anti-guns. Everyone has the right to bear arms; we truly believe that,” Nicole said. “But people just need to stop and think where the bullets are ending up. This little girl was just innocently cleaning her room and her life could have been taken away.”

Gun Safety Instructor Shoots Student

LANCASTER, Ohio -- Police say an instructor at a central Ohio gun safety class has accidentally shot a student. The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/19ZLcIt) reports 73-year-old Terry J. Dunlap Sr. was demonstrating a handgun at a training facility on Saturday when he fired a bullet that ricocheted off a desk and into the right arm of 26-year-old Michael Piemonte.

The student says the .38-caliber bullet hit him between his elbow and armpit. He says many of the students in the class were nurses who helped stabilize him before he was transported to a Columbus hospital. Piemonte tells the newspaper it appears Dunlap didn't know the gun was loaded. Dunlap hasn't responded to requests for comment.

A police report lists the shooting as accidental.


Why are nurses taking gun safety courses? Are people that violent during a colonoscopy?

Wouldn't you be violent during a colonoscopy? That seems like a fairly "invasive" procedure to me.

Nah, it's just a matter of taking your picture ... inside out.

The procedure I don't really mind, they give me good enough drugs I don't notice. What makes it bad is the day before when it's all about The Fluid and I am the pipeline!

I should have said sigmoidoscopy. No drugs and it hurts like a sumobitch.

Butt you get to be on TV!!!! ;)

BTW, I sure wouldn't risk a gun discharging near a Patient I have heard of Nurses who work in Gang Territory carry them. Very lucky I have rarely felt threatened visiting patients-the one time I did, I just screamed at the jerk at the top of my lungs for him to stay away from me. Sure the whole apartment complex heard it, and there was someone right behind me. He backed off like the coward he was.

I won't go so far as to say that I find it a wonderfully, pleasant experience (the procedure not the prep, that should be outlawed, I mean with all the advances in medical science you can't tell me that can't come up with a better way), but I have yet to doze off during it and am fascinated with watching the TV monitor to see what they are seeing and what they are doing, removing, etc. They usually explain to me what is going on. Weird, I guess, but I always want to see what my insides look like. Did the same thing with a bladder scope once, got to see what a prostate looks like and everything. We are some pretty complex creatures.

And for those of you with a weak constitution this is for you!
