Man shoots himself in hand Justin Murphy and David Andreatta Staff writers He had a permit. That was what a pa­tron at a Mendon restau­rant recalled a customer repeatedly saying after he accidentally shot him­self in the hand while showing his gun to a friend during the lunch hour on Saturday. John Cassata, 70, was sitting inside the Cottage H otel on Pittsford Men­don Road with a friend, Charles Raab, 67, around 1 p.m. when the gun went off, according to the Mon­roe County Sheriff ’s Of­fice. “Cassata decided to show his firearm to Raab when he accidentally dis­charged the gun,” Cpl. John Helfer said. “The round went through Cas­sata’s hand, struck his leg then grazed Raab‘s an­kle.” Helfer said both men were transported to Strong Memorial Hospi­tal with minor injuries. No charges have been filed, but Helfer said the matter was still under in­vestigation. Witnesses said the s hot went off with a baby nearby and shattered an otherwise peaceful lunch. “All of a sudden we heard this explosion,” said Ellen Smith of Men­don. “I literally thought somebody had a fire­cracker. I didn’t think it was a gun, but then I heard someone say, ‘Oh my god, what did you do?’ And I turned around and saw all this smoke and it was just silence. Every­one was stunned. This guy shot himself.” Smith called 911. “This guy was so gray. He was bleeding pretty heavily,” Smith said. “He kept saying, I’ve got a permit, I’ve got a per­mit.” [email protected] DANDREATTA@DemocratandChronicle .com

A recent article in the Kentucky Post, reported that a woman, one Anne Maynard, has sued St. Luke's hospital, saying that after her husband had surgery there, he lost all interest in sex. A hospital spokesman replied ... "Mr. Maynard was admitted in Ophthalmology – all we did, was correct his eyesight."

I had the cable that goes from the Frame to the Platform break one year . I bought some chain to replace the cables with .... It was a bit scarey when the cable snapped !

I leave the stands out year round but loosen most of the ratchet straps and replace them every couple of years . They are inexpensive . With hang ons , I change the straps each year . Harbor Freight and Tractor Supply have the straps on sale several times a year . I plan to do some scouting this winter to check the deer travel and find a few different spots to move stands to ...... I realize the deer will travel different routes in warmer weather when food is more plentiful but I have a couple thick areas that are stand possibilities .

My ladder stands are all black . What's to paint ? The foot rest sounds like a great idea . I have short legs and the stand gets uncomfortable after a while . After driving 50 miles one way , I tend to stay from dark until dark . Going to try to do more Hub Blind sitting in 2014 .

Nice job with the mount !

It looks like you have something that works . Why fix it ?

I have been hearing that all over the place . Sometimes they show that damn commercial 2 - 3 times on a program . If he was on the roof of my car , I would peel out and dump his butt !

Growie --- I am in the same boat as you . I have 2 cameras left out and they are in Geneseo . I don't plan to go there anytime soon . I bet the batteries are dead . As for Doc's question , I don't have an answer . I have not had them out this late or in this weather .

Nice shooting but you missed the dime .......

Congrats on a job well done .

We have about 12 - 14 inches of the light fluffy stuff here . We are 2 miles south of Lake Ontario . Bought a new snow blower today ( 28" cut ) .

Yeah , that video has been around for a while . I think the deer grunted "3 strikes and you're out" ! Uhhhhh , was that Jackie Bushwhacker doing the shooting ?

Happy Birthday Doc ! Hope you have a Great Day . Enjoy the beautiful weather .....

Snowblower seized up ........ I cleared 10" of snow this am in the driveway and turn around with no problem . I went out this afternoon to clear another 4" . The blower started acting up . Checked the gas and oil and both were fine . Ran in a while longer and it quit with a clunk . Started looking through the Consumer Report magazines for good ratings on snow blowers . The one I have is a MTD that I bought about 20 years ago . It's a bad time of the season for a snowblower to go to heck !

Doc .... The hard rubber blunts are called THUMPERS and are still sold .

Rochester , Buffalo , Grand Rapids

Grow ---- I think those are Wal-Mart bags .........

Like they say , No Nukes is Good Nukes !

I resolved not to make any more New Year's Resolutions ! I had my last cigarette at 8 am December 24 , 1979 and I put on more than 30 pounds over the years ..........

It took a lot of screwing around to get the video to show but it was worth it . Great looking deer !

welcome to Hunting NY !

Grow --- They must have tele-photo lens's ........
