Have you ever been shot?

[BoliDan]

So I'm sitting here in Tuscon at the smoking area, which is out of camera range (of course). Someone pulls up and asks.me question..I could not hear, so me being my affable self goes closer to the car. What do they do? Pull out a 22. And shoot me directly in the head and drive off...

Luckily I'm a big dude with thick bones. It bounced off my head. Here's a gross pic of you're curious this was the clotted up version btw. I lost about a pint on scene

Lol.no I refuse to go to the hospital. I bought super glue from the gift shop instead of paying 2000 for stitches.

 

Me right now.

I recommend you to go to a hospital but 2k bucks? anyway keep well.

[BoliDan]

Meh. Not a fan of hospitals. Not going. I've had very deep wounds before a couple (very painful) hydrogen peroxide soaks a day and you're good

 

[Greenhorn2]

Damn dude, go buy some lottery tickets. You're extremely lucky that didn't hit you in the eye. Hard heads come in handy every now and then. Hope you heal up well.

Lucky if you get out that cheap. I  was in a car wreck and knocked my kneecap off. Two exrays and a sorry you will have to go somewhere else because we don't have a surgeon on staff at the moment, cost me $3,600. I can completely understand the reluctance of hospital care.

Wow Dan, I don't know what to say dear friend. It's 11 o'clock at night as I type this and my mouth is wide-open. In other words, I am in shock.

It's good to see you have the ability to take photos and even post this up. I wonder if you are running on some form of adrenalin right now and maybe you might be feel different in a day or two? Let us know how you fare.

[riderpride]

Dude, not sure what kind of luck you have, but definitely happy you're above ground. 

 

Take care man.

[Kevin48438]

Police?

[HarveyBoulevard]

Good lord man?!?  That is craziness. Glad to see you smiling though. 
 

I’m guessing he asked you where you were from…

… the answer is always 🇨🇦 

[BrightonCorgi]

Did you file a police report?  The assailants should be caught and tried, no?

[Guest Nekhyludov]

Being randomly shot in the face in public, then refusing to seek medical care because you're afraid of the expense is the most American thing I've ever heard of.

Thank God you're alright. So far.

Thats the spirit 👍🏻

[MPhillips]

Holy hell. That’s some weird stuff. Good thing it didn’t do any serious damage. 
Glad you’re doing well. 

[westg]

WTF. Seriously tho. You must have a rock hard melon. Good to see you are okay . Go and gèt checked out. Mad man !

[helix]

I am just in awe. You are one tough hombre. Be safe/safer. 😏

[ha_banos]

Why!? Why would someone do this!?

You as has been said are lucky today. God bless.

[canadianbeaver]

That is one special head you have there brother. Keep well and hope a cold beer later makes you feel ok.

Glad you're OK @BoliDan. You might consider checking it out though to make sure theres nothing more serious afoot that could throw a blood clot. to answer thr posts question, 've never been shot but I've been shot at, and stabbed once. Good times. 

[BoliDan]

I'm good. Went to the lobby, they called the paramedics and sheriff. Teens pulled up and the kid in the back seat said 'can I ask you question'. Pop! Right above the eye. Adrenaline is starting to wake and I'm getting tired finally. Going to take a nap. Thanks for the concern, but it was more mentally traumatic than painful. 

 

[Islandboy]

Wow!! I’ve never been shot, and after seeing this post, I’d really like to keep it that way. It appears you’re incredibly lucky, but man, I’d be a little worried that some damage has been done that you just can’t see or feel...yet. Hope not though...glad you’re able to shrug it off.

[gormag38]

Wow. Wow. Wow. As has been said in the posts above, I believe you are insanely lucky to be alive.  I cannot believe that some kids would be stupid enough to try and take a human life. Yet another uniquely American thing (or at least to my understanding). 

Glad to hear that you are on the mend and that the proper authorities are involved. Heal quick and well!
