A Warren, Ohio, father wanted to keep his revolver out of his kids’ hands when they visited his home Sunday, so he hid the weapon in the broiler of his Maytag oven, according to police. But Robin Garlock, 44, didn’t tell his girlfriend about the hiding spot before she started heating the oven to do some baking later that night, the Youngstown Vindicator reports.

She found out about the gun with a “bang,” police said — though at first she assumed the gunfire she heard had come from outside the house, the newspaper reports. The girlfriend yelled for Garlock, who told her to run for cover, according to police. Garlock then headed for the broiler himself, where he was burned as he tried to secure the weapon.

“It’s too hot,” Warren Police Detective Wayne Mackey told the Vindicator. “The gun literally spun around because it’s going off.”

It has to be the gun's fault for allowing itself to be put there and not climbing out.

Natural selection.

The vindicator was the first newspaper I read when I was 5 years old.

My brother and I were feathered in the rotograve section on the front page of it with a picture of my brother and I at a fishing tournament at the Crandall Park lake pond. It was my first 15 minutes of fame.

It became an historical legend of the famous newspaper.

So many years ago but people are still talking about it today.
