A Florida Woman Was Shot by an Oven

Among items on the short list of "things that shouldn't be stored in an oven," live ammunition ranks near the top—just below live babies and gasoline. That's because, as Myth Busters has taught us and one Florida woman learned this week, live ammo and high temperatures make for an explosive combination.

Aalaya Walker just wanted some waffles. So the 18-year-old Florida resident, who was visiting a friend in St. Petersburg, 25-year-old JJ Sandy, turned on his oven to preheat. Unfortunately, she failed to check that the oven cavity was clear—it wasn't. Sandy had actually stashed a spare clip from his .45-caliber Glock 21 in there and, when the temperature rose sufficiently, the magazine exploded and sprayed Walker's leg with casing fragments. These rounds will discharge at temperatures as low as 280 degrees F but luckily, there were only four remaining in the 13-round clip when it went off.

Walker was admitted to a local area hospital with very minor injuries and Sandy was not charged with anything as he possessed the proper concealed weapons permit. The oven, unfortunately, is not expected to survive.

The real crime here is that the gun owner wasn't the one shot. Storing ammunition in your oven is just **** stupid. I mean, I get it. The guy probably never uses his oven. Someone needs to beat him with Mr. Clue-by-Four. This man has been unjustly deprived of a Darwin Award, and someone should rectify that situation.

We were strictly advised not to store our government-issued weapons in the oven. As with most such "duh" advisories, someone actually did this. This agent was evidently afraid of getting in trouble if someone broke into his home and stole his gun whilst he was off duty. He decided the range would be a place no one ever would look. Thankfully, he took the precaution of unloading the weapon, because "no one" included his wife. Evidently she went to make cupcakes or something and pre-heated the oven. This melted the polymer portions of the handgun into an unrecognizable mess. In case you're wondering, no, he doesn't work in law enforcement anymore.

FTFY Aside from say, cookie sheets - I simply can't see why anyone would ever think the oven is a good place to keep stuff. Likewise with microwave ovens, toaster ovens, toasters, blenders, crock pots ... the list goes on.

In addition to wondering how stupid people come up with stupid ideas, I also wonder what the point of having a mag downloaded all the way to 4 is.

You stick the completed waffles into the oven to keep them warm while you make more.
