High capacity assault crossbow "clips" will now be banned!

The guy looked like a zombie.

Crossbow bump stocks are weapons of war.

I am still trying to figure out how a lone guy got shot in the chest with a crossbow.

Was it any where close to the Archer Street intersection?

Incorrectly trying to load it backwards maybe? Like with the butt on the ground and the bow facing up?

That's the only way I can figure it.

Ouch! Wonder if it was a field tip or broadhead?

If it was a broadhead, the guy would have bled out before making it to the hospital.

That's what I was thinking.

I was skeet shooting with friends at Loch Raven and a guy there shot himself in the hand with his shotgun. All we could come up with was he slammed the stock on the ground with his hand over the muzzle and it discharged.

Well, there goes his chance to be in the remake of Robin Hood.

Probably going to clean it and forgot to check if it was still loaded. :sad20:

Is there any followup news on this?

Made an account just to post this.

My coworker knows the man, it wasn't accidental.

Attempted suicide. This is apparently his second time attempting as well...

JoshN · Nov 29, 2018

That's like attempting suicide with a hammer. Guessing this isn't the brightest guy in the world.

pbharvey · Nov 29, 2018

I'm more afraid of my crossbow than my guns.
I'm guessing this guy shot himself with a field point because I'm pretty sure a broadhead through the chest would end things pretty quickly.
I hope he finds whatever help he needs.
