Celebrities Who Have Accidentally Shot Themselves

The Week

 2. Al Capone
Twelve bodyguards apparently weren't enough to keep the mobster safe from bullets — his own. In 1928, Capone actually shot himself in both legs and the groin. According to reports at the time, Capone had just finished a round of golf with a friend and was entering the car to head home when his gun discharged accidentally. But more recent reports tell a different story. As Capone rummaged through his bag for a club, a revolver in the bag reportedly fired. Either way, the lesson is clear: When hitting the links, it's probably better to leave the firearms at home.

  1. So we're presented in the source with a list of eight celebrities and advised that carrying a gun is a bad idea? On this matter, as with many other things, I'll follow the wisdom of people who actually know about firearms, thanks.
