On second thought, the fact that it’s just two days instead of two weeks might be the most shocking part of the story. After all, this is “Florida Man” we’re talking about here.
According to The Daytona Beach News-Journal, a 37-year-old Deltona man accidentally shot himself while he was cleaning his .22 caliber pistol Thursday night, but he didn’t realize that he had done so until he decided to change his long-sleeved black shirt…wait for it…two days later.
Michael Blevins said he was holding his gun close to his chest while he was cleaning it in his living room because he didn’t want his dog to jump and get near it. But as he stood up, Blevins said he felt a sharp pain in his back from an unrelated injury and wound up falling face-first to the ground.
During the fall, Blevins said his head hit the corner of a glass table, and the gun accidentally fired. He believes the reason why he didn’t feel the bullet enter or exit his arm is because he was so doped up on the medication he’s taking for his back injury, which hopefully also explains why he didn’t feel the need to shower for two days.
Once he realized he shot himself, Blevins checked into a local hospital for treatment. Police determined he was telling the truth and closed the case.
And that has to be the most boring ending to a “Florida Man” story of all time.
