US Man hurt after blasting wheel with shotgun By Gary Cleland Last Updated: 2:08am GMT 14/11/2007 ( This guy was one of yours - not even a southerner! ) A man has been severely injured after attempting to loosen a stiff wheel-nut on his car by blasting it with a shotgun. According to a sheriff’s office report, he was taken to Tacoma General Hospital with severe but not life threatening injuries. His legs, feet and abdomen were worst affected, but some injuries went as high as his chin. The man had been repairing a Lincoln Continental for about two weeks at his home near Southworth in Washington state, about ten miles from Seattle. He had successfully removed all but one wheel-nut on the right rear wheel and resorted to firepower out of sheer frustration on Saturday afternoon. “He’s bound and determined to get that lug nut off,” said Deputy Scott Wilson. “Nobody else was there and he wasn’t intoxicated,” he added. The US has the highest rate of private gun ownership of any nation and the "right to bear arms" is enshrined in the constitution. Under federal laws the sale of handguns is limited to over-21s, although over-18s can buy "long guns" - rifles or shotguns. Some people are barred, such as more serious criminals, including those convicted of domestic violence or subject to a court order over harassment, illegal drug users, illegal immigrants, the mentally ill and those dishonourably discharged from the armed forces
