All I can say is wow [chicagotribune.com](http://chicagotribune.com) Man Hurt Using Shotgun to Loosen Lug Nut By Associated Press 8:22 AM CST, November 13, 2007 SOUTHWORTH, Wash. A man trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut blasted the wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in both legs, sheriff’s deputies said. The 66-year-old man had been repairing a Lincoln Continental for two weeks at his home northwest of Southworth, about 10 miles southwest of Seattle, and had gotten all but one of the lug nuts off the right rear wheel by Saturday afternoon, Kitsap County Deputy Scott Wilson said. “He’s bound and determined to get that lug nut off,” Wilson said. From about arm’s length, the man fired the shotgun at the wheel and was “peppered” in both legs with buckshot and debris, with some injuries as high as his chin, according to a sheriff’s office report. “Nobody else was there and he wasn’t intoxicated,” Wilson said. The man was taken to Tacoma General Hospital with injuries Wilson described as severe but not life-threatening. Copyright 2007 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

The only logical way that could work is if you had a torque bar on the lugnut, and you put the stock of the shotgun on it and fired it into the air, to use to kick to break it free. but even that is retarded ---

“Do you feel lucky punk?.. WELL Do you?” I don’ know how many times my old man said he was ready to just shoot something that was old and shitty and not working properly. Who the fuck would stand facing a steel wall or rim in this instance, take a shotgun and aim it at the wall/rim and fire. I bet this guy is the ‘hunter’ that has never gotten a single deer in deer season. ---
