Oops: Hiker Shoots Himself In The Rear

Hiker Moved Gun To Back Pocket For Comfort


WENATCHEE, Wash. -- A hiker on Blewett Pass shot himself in the butt when he put a handgun in his back pocket.The Chelan County sheriff's office said the 52-year-old Snohomish man had moved his .40-caliber handgun from its holster to his back pocket Saturday to see if that position would be more comfortable for his hike.

The Wenatchee World reported the gun fired the bullet down his left buttock and left leg, coming to rest just above the knee. He was treated at Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee and released.

I'm betting it was a Glock...not that it really makes any difference.

I wonder how that whole comfort thing worked out for him?

Why would you carry in the back pocket? That is a sure way to lose a gun on a hike.

He should be happy he didn't put it in his front pocket. Who knows what he would have shot off then....[Wow1]

I carry my Glock 26 in front and rear pocket sometimes, but not with one in the chamber!

He's lucky he didn't suffer a brain injury with that wound location, but it would be a small target, I guess...
