A man showing off his gun at a Florida bar last week ended up giving patrons an intimate view of the weapon’s capabilities when he accidentally shot himself.
A beery Thursday evening inside O’Riley’s Uptown Tavern in Pensacola rapidly went downhill for Carlos Feituuaki Tuifua, 28, when he whipped out his handgun around 11 p.m. to show it to a man and woman at the bar, the Pensacola News Journal reported.
In a painful fail caught on security camera, Tuifua made a swift motion to house the gun in an imaginary holster under his shoulder, inadvertently setting the weapon off and shooting himself in the upper torso.
“I don’t know if he was pretending to be a badass or something,” bar manager Warren Sonnen told the local newspaper. “But from what I can tell it was completely by accident.”
Cops passing by on a routine patrol were flagged down outside the bar after the shooting.
However, by the time they arrived at the scene the wounded self-shooter had already left and checked himself into a local hospital for treatment.
Tuifua was arrested at his home the next day, WEAR-TV reported.
He is charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and improper exhibition of a weapon.
