DELTONA, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man shot himself in the arm while cleaning a handgun, but didn't realize it until three days later when he finally changed shirts and found a bullet hole.

An arrest report says Volusia County Sheriff's deputies were called after 37-year-old Michael Blevins went to a hospital Saturday. Blevins told them he was cleaning a .22 caliber pistol on Thursday when he held it against his chest to keep his dog from jumping near it.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal (http://bit.ly/24I8r3v ) reports as Blevins stood up, his back gave out and he fell. He says he heard a gunshot but didn't feel pain from that, possibly because of medicine he takes for back pain.

He says he went about his business until Saturday when he changed shirts and saw the entrance and exit wounds.
 
The only believable part of that story is that he was fucked up on painkillers.

Arrest report? Was he charge with assault with a deadly weapon on himself?

Discharging a weapon (even by accident) can get you in trouble in most places unless you have plenty of private land around you or unless there was good reason (self-defense). The round could go through your wall and into someone in the next house.

Probably just a fine though (assuming no one else was hit). :weird:

Eh I guess I kinda see the reasoning.....hopefully its a minor offense.
 
To be fair, he probably changed his shirt when he had to shit. Painkillers bind you up I guess.
