Get a load of this! A bizarre shooting in Georgia leaves a man having to kiss some serious mother-in-law butt — pretty much for the rest of his life.

54-year-old Larry McElroy doesn’t like armadillos very much, especially when they so rudely invade his property. One day he decides to shoot an Armadillo from about 100 yards away with his 9mm pistol.

Well, he fires his load and kills the armadillo, probably promoting a hardy “Yee Haw!” or something to that effect. However, the bullet ricocheted off the armadillo, onto a post, and through the backdoor of his mother-in-law’s trailer.

Okay collect yourself. Now let’s continue.

The bullet strikes his mother-in-law while she’s in her recliner — perhaps relaxing to Fox News or a french documentary on 17th century French artist Georges de la Tour — sending McElroy’s poor mother-in-law to the E.R.

Fortunately McElroy’s mother-in-law didn’t suffer any serious injuries and is expected to make a full recovery. Police didn’t charge McElroy but did recommend that he purchase a shotgun and use it to shoot varmints in the future. Sounds like a great plan to me, I mean what could go wrong?

Many expect the NRA to use this incident to call for looser regulations regarding the sale of armor piercing bullets, and I wish that was just a joke. Cue the Benny Hill music and? now enjoy this serious news clip about the incident.
