A 21-year-old in Lincoln, Nebraska, accidentally shot himself in the leg while showing off a new handgun he’d just bought at Scheels—right in front of his girlfriend who was filming. The gun discharged during a slide-racking demo, severing a major artery. Paramedics rushed to the scene, applied a tourniquet, and performed CPR before rushing him to the hospital. He’s now in surgery but stable. The store stayed open, and police are investigating—but this harrowing accident serves as a chilling reminder: even with good intentions, firearms demand extreme caution.
