In New Carlisle, Ohio, James Short, 72, was in the dentist chair on Wednesday afternoon when he heard his phone ringing and went to answer it but accidentally grabbed his gun and shot himself. Short was treated at Miami Valley Hospital for a graze to the left side of his stomach, as well as a wound on his left hand near the thumb. Mr. Short has a Concealed Carry permit.
* Another cavity to fill.
* At least there was plenty of Novocaine nearby.

* I wonder if he’s ever tried to shoot a burglar and instead sent him a text?
* I’m sure he took the gun to the dentist to blast the first person to ask him, “Are you flossing regularly?”
* How bad is the person who called him going to feel?
* That’s when you really don’t want to leave a message.
* “Hi, it’s me. I just called to chat…it’s nothing really. Call me later.”
* “Was that a gunshot I just heard?”
