I knew they were gun-crazy in Oklahoma, but I never knew anyone could be THAT crazy.A probable cause arrest affidavit filed in Canadian County states Arthur Sedille told investigators he and his wife often engaged in sexual fantasy involving a gun.Arthur Sedille told police he took a handgun from a shelf beside the bed and “racked the slide back causing the gun to cock,” the affidavit states. He said he placed the gun to her head and the gun discharged. He said he did not realize the gun was loaded, according to the affidavit.

All we can hope for is that Mr. Stupid Sex Tricks meets Mr. Studly Gun-in-the-Waistband and that they decide to use Mr. Stupid Sex Tricks’ gun as the macho symbol du jour. Then the “unloaded” gun can go off and they will both be Mae West’s biggest dissappointment. They truly do only have a gun in their pocket.
