Today, my boyfriend discovered that if you mix beer, an axe, shotgun shells and bad judgment, you get a rather expensive hospital stay. FML
ncbb5 tells us more.

Hey, op here. I was supposed to spend the day with my boyfriend but I got called to work. I told him don't do anything stupid. We know how that turned out. Anyway he's fine now just whining like a baby.

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Beer plus ANY of those things is a bad idea... don't let his stupidity take you out too.

What exactly happened? I'm kinda curious. This whole situation sounds like a mess. Sorry your boyfriend's a dumbass OP.

Most likely he got trashed and hit a shotgun shell with an ax, causing it to go off which probably hit him, and that explains why he's in the ER.

Doubt it. A shotgun shell can't really go off unless it's in the chamber of a gun, otherwise only the primer will ignite. It's possible that the primer exploding caused some dirt or something to fly into his eye but unless the shell was chambered in a gun, I'm not sure how else it could have hurt him.

A shell can go off if not chambered.i.t usually just loudly pops apart like a firecracker. Without the chamber pressure the projectiles won't travel very far

55 is right. Without a barrel, a shotgun shell (or any round) won't have enough compression to burn all the powder and the round won't have much power. My guess is the boyfriend hit the primer on the shell with the axe while his foot was in front of it.

A genius?! Your boyfriend is not. Just be thankful that you were not hurt in the shenanigans. Drinking and sharp or potentially life-threatening items should not mix.

Agreed, glad he's ok but it's really stupid none the less. Hopefully he doesn't decide to film this stuff for youtube. Kinda saddened at the reaction of boys will be boys after it resulted in an ER visit and it gets sadder the older the person is involved.

He got drunk, hit a shell with the axe and because he's a dumb ass he freaked out when the shell popped and dropped the axe on his leg. At least that's what he told me. I believe it was probably alot more idiotic but I wasn't there.

Better than an expensive funeral service.
