The Muskogee County sheriff said a member of the group guarding an Oktaha gun shop accidentally shot himself Tuesday.
Sheriff Charles Pearson said the man dropped his gun and a bullet hit him in the arm. The sheriff did not identify the man or offer any other details about what happened.
The group of armed citizens and veterans is standing guard outside the Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gear store after the owners said they received death threats from all over the world for putting up a sign saying Muslims weren't welcome.
"I saw several of those gentlemen out there yesterday," Pearson said. "The way they were holding their weapons, with the fingers on the triggers, you can tell a couple of these gentlemen have no idea about weapons safety. It's like the Clampetts have come to town," Sheriff Pearson told muskogeenow.com.
One of the armed men took offense at the Sheriff's remarks:
One of those volunteers, who claimed to be a combat veteran and would identify himself only as “Eagle One,” disputed the sheriff’s characterization of the volunteers.
“Don’t paint us as ignorant hillbillies,” he said. “We just believe in people’s constitutional rights, and we’re here to make sure they get them.”
Yeah how can we call them hillbillies with an awesome moniker like "Eagle One?" I mean that just screams "Respect my authority."
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee.
ReplyDeleteWe don't like to think about things too.
Guns are the only way to Heaven.
And hatred is the only thing we do.
Darwin proved right again.
ReplyDeleteGuys, guys, we should all have code names! I choose "Eagle One".
ReplyDeleteThese guys need to go play 'Mortal Combat' in mommy's basement.
Makes me proud to be an American.
...who claimed to be a combat veteran and would identify himself only as “Eagle One,”
ReplyDeleteSome little boys never stop playing army, do they?
By looking at the photo, it's clear these two are NOT Badass.
ReplyDeleteLet's run down the Badass Checklist:
-- Bald, shaved head. No.
-- Greasy baseball cap. Check
-- Wraparound sunglasses worn day and night. No -- wrap-arounds shoved up on your greasy baseball cap don't count.
-- Tattoos. No. None visible. Badass tats MUST be visible.
-- Equipment vest with all sorts of crap stuffed in the pockets and hanging onto the clips. No.
-- Thigh holster. No.
-- Kevlar vest. No.
These guys clearly are not Badass. In fact, they barely qualify as Badass Wannabee.
Badass also requires a small penis which these "ignorant hillbillies" clearly have.
DeleteThe man dropped his gun and a bullet hit his arm. Hmmm. He was lucky. And all for what? No Muslims around, nor involved. I think this group guarding the gun shop are playing cowboys and indians, or some form of plastic GIJoe warfare, retreating into their boyhoods, looking for a fight, any fight.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this where Murican's complain, "Don't these people have jobs?"
DeleteHe was only hit in the wrist by his own Colt 45 revolver when he dropped it. The .45 should leave a nice hole though, especially from that close. But how did it go off? Revolvers are (all) double action right?

Possum Nine here. Maybe you all will see the reality a little clearer if I let you in on the facts - that fellow who dropped his gun, well he also shit himself at the same time cause he saw a Muslim wearin' a Jade Helm t-shirt. I mean, come on, who wouldn't of?
ReplyDeleteLike I said in the previous "stupid people who get hurt or killed with their own guns" post... Where are the stories about people whose lives were saved because they own guns? If they were happening the NRA would be making sure they were reported.
ReplyDeleteOk, now wait a minute; the Clampetts were much more classy than the anti-Muslim jerks. Also, nowhere were the Clampetts careless with guns, and they all seemed to be expert shots.
ReplyDelete“Don’t paint us as ignorant hillbillies,” he said. “We just believe in people’s constitutional rights, and we’re here to make sure they get them.
ReplyDeleteSo will these same defenders of the Constitution also be out there defending The 14th amendment and all those people Trump & the rest of the Republican clowns want to deport?
No. Because they're racist, ignorant hillbillies.
DeleteThe Clampetts were kind, ignorant hillbillies.

These stories are beginning to make me rethink our planned winter holiday in Florida. The U.S.A. gun culture seems to have ape crazy and gives the impression that nowhere is safe from these idiots.

DeleteIf you're going to be flying into Miami, don't have anything valuable or hard to replace in your checked luggage. In our case, we had a free day before boarding the ship, so we were able to buy another camcorder.

Bwahahahaha!
"“We just believe in people’s constitutional rights, and we’re here to make sure they get them.”"

You mean like the constitutional rights of American citizens who are Muslim.
Fucking ignorant drooling goobers.
Are these eedjeets smarter than Homer Simpson? No.
DeleteIs there anyone who still might wonder why a narcissistic ignorant blowhard like Donald Trump is winning polls for Repub nomination?
ReplyDeleteThese folks are about 50% of the USA population kids, and these are the people who like Hucksterbee, Santorum, Cruz, Walker, and Perry.
These are the people who supported an ignorant racist idiot like Palin.
These people voted TWICE for GW Bush.
We may yet devolve towards civil war, or at least war against Iran, praise Jeesus with the next Repub President.
Sometimes you just have to laugh. The Clampetts comment is pure gold.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post, Gryphen!
I still want to know how these yahoos are going to be able to identify Muslims. Of the Muslims I know? None would fit these guys' stereotype (wait, two would- ONLY because she and her mother wear hijab). One of them would even fit in, physical description-wise, with these idiots. Only one, a dark-skinned black guy, who has an African-French accent, would even be labeled by these guys as 'foreign.' The stupidity. It burns.

ReplyDeleteWith all due respect, Mr Eagle One, sir, no one's comparing you to the Palins in any way whatsoever. The Clampetts were like rocket scientists by comparison. Jeb went out shooting critters, and struck oil, black gold, texas tea. Ellie Mae was an animal lover, and Jethro memorized his own lines, no teleprompters, etc. Granny was a little off her rocker, but she's allowed at her age. They invested in property and didn't let money spoil them.
You're just jealous they have a mansion, a cement pond and a felt dinner table with moonshine holders, while you're in a single wide, eating tv dinners in front of fox news on a fold out snack table 'cus your belly won't let your arms reach a normal table.
Will these ignorant of the world, undereducated Americans who think they are taking a stand for something still be standing guard tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, a decade from now? Islam existed long before these fools and will be around when they and the gun store are but mere memories.
