    Hypothetical situation: your pistol accidentally goes off in your apartment and the round goes into the ceiling. after about an hour of the cops not showing up and your neighbors not answering their doors, what do you do?

    call the cops?
    patch the hole?
    tell the maintenance folks?

    all hypothetical of course

    Was it a 10mm?

    If so, you are required by law to contact the NRC as well as LSP Hazmat so they can set up the standard 1 mile perimeter.

    These always make me chuckle.... But if it were a 10mm the girl he was showing would have been killed.

    could you hypothetically, see Through the hole? if so, get a cool fiber optic camera and stick it through to check everything out up there. More points if the neighbors are home and see it. when the cops come, admit nothing.

    I would truly give a year's salary to see my husband's face after he shot the television 16 years ago, give or take a couple months.

    He *THOUGHT* it was empty. He dry fired front and down range of the living room and the TV went *boom*. The only reason I know that is because we were watching tv here at home about six years ago, and a person shot a tv in some movie. It exploded. Spec said "********, that's not what a tv looks like when it's shot". "Wait, wha?! What are you talking about? When did you shoot a tv?"

    For the record, a television *implodes*, but not very dramatically. He kept that secret for ten solid years of marriage. :D
    my grandfather shot his tv a long time ago by mistake as well.... what's the deal with tv's getting shot so much..

    Stick a cleaning rod into the hole. If no penetration through to the up stairs occurred, patch with toothpaste to ceiling and forget about it.
    If penetration through their floor occurred, invite yourself up stairs for some innocent reason (hey, do you have any steak seasoning, I just ran out...) And assess damage covertly. Go from there using common sense.

    You left out out the part about the OP being an epic retard... like the thread he started to complain about the Monroe cop who DIDN'T arrest him for DWI one night.

    Or the one where he was whining about not being able to find suitable female companionship... down HERE. This part of the state is crawling with gorgeous, available women. I've never met this clown, but he must be a REAL loser. FWIW, he got popped for DWI in Ascension a year or so ago. Haven't seen him here since. Too bad... he was quite entertaining...

    .

    Just didn't want to drift too far off topic. JD had several posts that left most people shaking their heads. His threads were like a wreck, couldn't help but look even though you know it's going to be bad.

    This thread needs pics!

    Go ask the neighbor upstairs if you can dig the slug out of the ceiling/ couch/ table/ dad's urn/ whatever... it'll make a nice souvenir!
