Jorge Espinal, 44, uses a gun as a backscratcher and shoots himself

Jorge Espinal, 44, uses a gun as a backscratcher and shoots himself.
“A Fort Worth man trying to scratch an itch on his back used a revolver and accidentally shot himself. He told officers he had an itch on his back and grabbed the first thing he could get a hold of, which was a revolver,” Lt. Dean said. “The gun went off." Mr. Espinal went back and told his buddies that he shot himself. “They didn’t believe him until they saw the blood coming down his back,” Lt. Dean said. Mr. Espinal was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries.”

What in the world? He’s 44 not like he’s a kid. Why would he use a gun to scratch his back? Why don’t you pick up a pen that is near by or something? Someone like this shouldn’t even own a gun. He might hurt innocent bystanders.
