It Was Bound To Happen

It was bound to happen, and fortunately, this Lynchburg VA gun permit holder shot himself and not any patrons.

"A Forest man who accidentally shot himself in the thigh with a concealed firearm Saturday night inside Waterstone Pizza on Jefferson Street has been charged with three misdemeanors.

Wayne Meredith Latham, 56, was charged with recklessly handling a firearm, willfully discharging a firearm in the city and carrying a concealed handgun in a restaurant after consuming alcohol.

Officer Mario Graves said that Latham did have a concealed weapon permit but officers believe he had been consuming alcohol.

Graves said patrons with a concealed firearm in a restaurant are not allowed to consume alcohol."
