You just know that the woman bought the gun for "personal safety:"
A 57-year-old woman was shot in the buttocks after she brought a concealed handgun into an MRI machine, according to an FDA report.
The report does not disclose where the incident occurred but said it happened back in June.
According to the FDA report, the patient was brought into the room and entered the MRI machine. The patient’s concealed handgun was attracted to the device’s magnetic field and fired a single shot.
The bullet struck the patient in the buttocks, and she was quickly tended to by medical staff on site.
[...]
Health care workers said prior to entering the MRI machine, the patient had been asked if she had any forbidden items on her, including firearms, as part of a standard screening procedure. They said she answered “no” to all screening questions.
What I want to know is why she felt that she needed the gun in the MRI? Was she afraid that little magnetic wave monsters were going to pop up and eat her or something? She obviously knew it was wrong since she lied about it.
And almost as importantly, presuming she was wearing a hospital gown, where did she keep the gun?
