I shamelessly got this from the Classic Arms website, one of my favorite places to buy C&R guns from.

SEPT 29th 1976
The day "The Killer" almost really was
"Jerry Lee Lewis, a Rock and Roll pioneer and arguably one of the greatest entertainers of all time, was celebrating his 41st birthday with a party in his home. After several beers had been consumed and numerous shots of Jack Daniels had been thrown back, Jerry Lee deided it would be a good time for some indoor target practice. He quickly found his .357 magnum revolver and took aim at an empty beer bottle on a table across the room.
Proving that Jerry Lee was a much better slightly intoxicated piano player, than very intoxicated marksman, the bullet failed to strike the bottle. It did however penetrate the wall and strike the chest of Jerry's Bass player Norman Owens. Many outlets reported that Jerry had shot Norman twice in the chest but in truth it was actually one bullet that caused two flesh wound as it tumbled across the front of Owens' chest. In a stroke of luck Owens had been standing sideways to the path of the bullet which skimmed his chest as it flew by and lodged into a far wall. If he fad been standing facing the wall the errent shot would have probably killed him.
Forunately Owens would fully recover from the incident however he would proceed to sue Jerry Lee for damages.
As for Jerry Lee, He was charged criminally for discharging a firearm within the city limits."

It's only true if it's on this forum where opinions are facts and facts are opinions
Words of wisdom from Big Chief: Flush twice, it's a long way to the Mess Hall
I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!

Armed circus Clowns are three times more likely to kill friends and family members and spectators as are unarmed circus Clowns !
And remember !
Clowns at the circus might be funny, but on the road, they are murder !!!!
