Jose Canseco accidentally shot one of the fingers on his left hand while cleaning a gun in his kitchen, according to the Denver Post.
That is impossible

Unless you're a total dunderhead. THis can't be true, it just can't be.
Hmmm, something only a real meathead could do...

how often this happens...
I just assumed it was attention whoring...

he hasn't been in the spotlight for a few years, very little he can do has shock value.
lol when you clean a gun  
newjacksm : 10/28/2014 11:35 pm : link
you're supposed to have the chamber open... and the bullet would dislodge itself.

he deserves that one.
dumbass

cleaning a loaded gun... lucky he only got shot in the finger.
Couldn't happen to a better guy.

It took this long for something like that to happen to a tool like Canseco.
Ha . . .

. . . that would be a great "East Bound and Down" episode.
For those of you that own and clean guns...

First thing you do after the gun is removed from your safe is check to make sure it is unloaded. No exceptions.
Accidents happen...especially if you are dumb, drunk, or high.

Jose might have been all three.

Who was the athlete who chopped off his toes mowing his lawn (it was many years ago)?
Glad he didn't hurt anyone else.

That's just unbelievably stupid/careless.
The rules are simple  
Jon from PA : 10/29/2014 7:10 am : link
treat EVERY weapon as if it were loaded. Doing this one simple thing would prevent a ton of "accidental" shootings.
too stupid for words.

the guy who lives 2 doors down from me is a NYC cop. A few months back he was "cleaning his gun out" and accidentally fired off a round. It entered the unit between us, went through that unit and lodged itself in the wall right next to my Son's bed and is still in there somewhere. We have a bunch of cops/correction's officers that live in my complex. Every one of them said the same thing. There was no way in hell he was cleaning his gun. That's what they all say when they do something stupid with it like do a Robert DeNiro Taxi Driver type routine in their house/apartment. Chances are this shit for brains Canseco was doing something idiotic that had nothing to do with cleaning his gun out...
I figured with all the steroids he took  
Section331 : 10/29/2014 8:55 am : link
that the finger would grow back.
Four simple rules  
Greg from LI : 10/29/2014 8:57 am : link
1)Treat every weapon as if it were loaded
2)Never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3)Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire
4)Keep your weapon on safe until you intend to fire

Follow those four rules religiously and you will never do something idiotic like blowing your finger off while cleaning a firearm.
Greg, you lost Jose  
Section331 : 10/29/2014 8:59 am : link
at rule 1.
Maybe Rick Grimes did it

Take your shot, Funboy

His finger has probably already grown back due to all of the PED's, steroids, and cocaine in his system.
plaxico's case  
Les in TO : 10/29/2014 9:34 am : link
is still worse even if he didn't lose a limb. plax was at the peak of his career, on a dominating super bowl championship team and he was at a club with a gun in his sweatpants. jose is a washed up, discredited walking joke.
I guess he watched too many cartoons
