Ouch! Were they able to save the toe?
Steel toed boots??? What caliber?? That is going to be painful for a while.
Not me! I'll try to find any added info and pass it on.

On the bright side, I'll bet that ingrown toenail isn't bothering him anymore.
I just hope the person who screwed up handling the firearm is the same one who owns what's left of that toe.
One of my biggest aggravations is when one person screws up and somebody else has to pay the price.

Hope he can keep the big toe. I guess it coulda been worse.
Hard to belive anyone would be stupid enough to shoot themselves in the foot.

You been runnin' with Junior?
A fellow at out Sporting Clays field put the muzzle of his automatic shotgun on his toe after he came off the stand. He had evidently loaded one more shell than he thought. While watching another shooter he pulled the trigger and shot his foot similar to that one but much less damage. His toe spacing was such that he only took a little meat off each toe and he had the shotgun positioned perfectly. He was one lucky guy!

When I shot myself with a 22 in the leg I was kind of disappointed when all I had was 3 band aids....in/out/in and stopped at my ankle. Still have the bullet just above my ankle. My late grandpa (30 year Oklahoma City cop) came to see me in the hospital and told me when he shot himself in the leg with a 1911 45, living on a farm in rural Texas the only medical treatment was the local veterinarian. He said he put a cleaning patch with iodine on it on a cleaning rod and ran it through the hole.....it makes me cringe just thinking about it.
Hope they save the toe.....that must have hurt like hell......
What aggravated me more with my gunshot was the incessant police questions about how I got shot. They must have had 5 different cops ask me 15 different ways what happened. I guess after the same story was told 50 times they must have finally believed me.
But the physical therapst was a babe.............

I have copies of these pics from 2009, they're at least that old.
I did it...with a rifle.
My old dad did that though not as bad, Only took off a tip of his little toe, He had his Luger with him in the chicken coop when he jumped a snake, Seems the snake made a run at his feet while he was shooting at it.
Thanks for the Post.
These type of pictures makes me repeat

Thought it was your foot at first!
