Really, it is worded very odd. No matter what your opinion on gun ownership is, we&#8217;ll think you&#8217;ll agree that the Founding Fathers never intended this: a California man drove off a bridge, sank six feet under water and shot his way out of his car.<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old man is a security guard at a Sacramento area casino who happened to have his handgun with him. The unnamed man claims that his cell phone rang, startled him and then he lost control of his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/focus\">Ford Focus<\/a>, breaking through a guard rail and plunging into a river. We don&#8217;t buy the cell phone story, as it rings about as truthful as the pelican putting a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/BugattiVeyron\/\">Bugatti Veyron<\/a> into a Texas pond. <\/p>\n<p>No matter the reason, being trapped underwater is surely horrible. Good thing he had the gun. Why didn&#8217;t he try the door? He probably did and it wouldn&#8217;t open. Also, we&#8217;ve never been trapped underwater so it&#8217;s hard to say how the brain processes the situation. The upside is that the driver escaped with only minor injuries. <em>Hat tip to Shaun!<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/cbs13.com\/watercooler\/roseville.underwater.car.2.1432423.html\">cbs13.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/20\/nra-stoked-as-man-shoots-way-out-of-submerged-car\/\">NRA stoked as man shoots way out of submerged car<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:56:00 EST.
