Fla. couple finds real trauma when gun accidentally fires during practice 'robbery drill'

MELBOURNE, Fla. - A 72-year-old Florida woman was accidentally shot by her husband during a "robbery drill" the couple staged to practice how they'd respond to an intruder. The Brevard County Sheriff's Office said Arnold and Patricia Morris had little experience with guns, and the shooting Sunday was an clearly accidental.

Arnold Morris called 911 after the .380-caliber pistol fired, and his wife was airlifted to the hospital for surgery.

The two were fortunate to escape serious injury. Patricia Morris was expected to make a full recovery.

Well, that's embarrassing.

Well now they understand how the .380 is not adequate.

Melbourne has turned into a third world country in the the past decade. My grandparents had a place there and I used to visit them growing up. After they passed my wife and I thought about buying the place and moving down there so I could go to school at Embury-Riddle. We took a weeks vacation there and I'm glad I did. There were some really scary neighborhoods where just a few years before they were not that bad. Schools suck unless you can get into a good charter school and we about reported one of the child care centers we checked out. I could understand why you might see this sort of thing happen. I heard it's going to get worse all along the space coast if they keep cutting the space programs. This last program cut is going to cost the area around 30000 jobs (direct/indirect) from what I've heard. It's going to be the new Detroit before too long...

Sounds to me that they just need more practice.
