Well it seems that Europeans get another view of how dumb some Americans can be with their firearms. This article found on the BBC website proves just what you shouldn’t do to remove the lugs from your car tire.
The summary, a 66 year old man trying to remove a tire from his Lincoln Continental became so frustrated that he decided to use his 12-Gauge shot gun and blast the nut from his wheel. Needless to say this didn’t work and he ended up in the Hospital with shotgun pellets in his feet, abdomen, and chin.
So if you want to remove that stubborn lug nut get an impact wrench and air compressor. Shotguns won’t remove the nut unless the nut is referring to yourself.
