[cali]

Officials say a Utah teacher is in good condition after accidentally shooting herself in the leg with a concealed firearm in a faculty bathroom at the elementary school where she works.

Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley says the gun went off while the woman was in a faculty restroom shortly before class started Thursday at Westbrook Elementary School, in the Salt Lake City suburb of Taylorsville. The teacher was rushed to the hospital.

Horsley says no other faculty or students witnessed the shooting, but some heard the gunshot.

He says the the bullet entered and exited the teacher's leg.

1. Just heard this morning that the Missouri legislature

has over ridden the Governors veto of a bill to allow teachers in have guns in school. Who will be shot there first, a teacher, a student or a bad guy with a gun? I'll lay 20-1 its a teacher or student.

2. But I'm sure she's got the skills to take down an armed intruder.

Is she compensating for small boobs?

5. LOL, you can only use penis/gun meme on men, using any boob meme on women is misogynistic

But this case proves again it is a bad idea to masturbate with guns around

and not get advice about masturbation.
