From the Associated Press via CBS News:
A man trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut blasted the wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in both legs, sheriff's deputies said.
....
"He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," [Deputy] Wilson said.
....
"Nobody else was there and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said.
Out, damned lug nut! Out, I say!
Strangest thing about this story is that the guy wasn't a Southerner.

"I am defended; I gotta gun." Lord, have mercy.
Should I have titled the post "Department of Stupid"?
