Man practicing quick draw shoots self in leg

   You can expect an 8-year-old boy to practice his quick draw with his first pair of toy six-shooters. But most guys are over that phase by the time they hit 50.

   But not Lazaro Flores of Cape Coral, who shot himself in the leg while practicing his technique, news-press.com of Fort Myers reports.

   At least the gun was authentic. Flores shot himself with a  .32-caliber 1871 revolver, according to the Lee County sheriff’s office. No word on why he was practicing his quick draw.
