My older brother's friend had a tendency to whittle pieces of himself off while growing up in Reno, Nevada.
He found an old pistol around Rattlesnake Mountain. Took it home and put a live round in it to see if it would work. Well, the pistol exploded in his hand.
I got that old pistol minus various parts from my older brother after he had to leave town to get away from a bad element and used to practice my fast draws. But now the gun had no firing pin in it and I would never load it anyway.
This is the same friend of my older brother who tried fishing for carp in Hidden Lake behind Rattlesnake Mountain with a machete. He missed and gashed his leg up rather badly.
