Safety tip: do not hide a gun in the oven
not that anyone here would
...................................................................... Boy, 4, wounded on South Side after gun hidden in oven discharges, 12-year-old relative also injured; man charged with 2 counts of child endangerment A 4-year-old boy was stable Saturday after a loaded handgun hidden inside an oven in a South Side home discharged when the oven was turned on, authorities said. Anthony Smith, 24, of Chicago was charged with two counts of endangering the life of a child and one count of unlawful use of a weapon, said Chicago Police Officer Marcel Bright. Smith, a felon, had hidden the revolver in the oven in a home in the 4800 block of South Racine Avenue, Bright said. When the injured boy's sister turned on the oven to cook about 4 p.m. Friday, the heat caused the gun to discharge, striking the boy in the leg with a bullet. His 12-year-old brother was struck on the forehead by a fragment from the gun, Bright said. Both children were taken to University of Chicago Medical Center. The 12-year-old was treated and released, Bright said http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/c...0,1147342.story &Alice laughed, &There's no use trying,& she said: &one can't believe impossible things.& &I daresay you haven't had much practice,& said the Queen. &When I was your age I always did it for half-an-hour a day.

You should watch the Mythbusters episode where they explored this myth through all kinds of weapons and ammo calibers...not that they are the be all end all but still worth a viewing.
