Man said he fired bullet into neighbor's home because it was his only way to unload gun (FOX news article)

MIDDLETOWN, Pa. – Police in Pennsylvania say a man accused of shooting a bullet through a neighbor's window told a judge he fired the gun because it was the only way he knew how to unload it.

Middletown Detective Patrick Nicastro tells the Bucks County Courier Times (http://bit.ly/1CwbE81) that 31-year-old George Byrd IV of Penndel at first denied being behind the shooting but then acknowledged during his arraignment that he fired the weapon to clear the chamber because he was unfamiliar with guns.
Authorities say Byrd fired the gun early Friday afternoon in the suburban Philadelphia community. No one was injured.
Byrd is being held in the Bucks County jail on $20,000 bond. No attorney is listed on court papers.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 8

Special kind of stupid there.

Just curious if anyone has ever personally met someone like this and how do you survive being around them?

I have met many people that I could describe as "2 cans shy of a 6 pack" before, but this just baffles me.
