00:00It sucks to be old
00:08An Illinois man
00:11Who police say
00:14Shot himself in the leg
00:17While he was dreaming about burglars
00:22That sucks, huh?
00:24Has been charged with firearms offenses
00:27Oops
00:28Sleeps with that guy
00:31He's just like
00:33Somebody's trying to break in
00:38Somebody on my land
00:41Somebody's on my land
00:44Oh man, you can't sleep with it
00:55No
00:56Especially if you have dreams like that
00:58You can sleep near it
01:00Yeah
01:00Know where it is, have it ready
01:03Yeah, can't cuddle it
01:04The 68-year-old Lake Barrington man survived the accidental shooting
01:09And no one else was hurt, luckily
01:10He was charged with possessing a firearm
01:12With a revoked firearm owner's identification
01:15Which is required in Illinois
01:17And reckless discharge of a firearm
01:20The man was arrested on a warrant
01:24He is free after he posted bond
01:26Shooting happened about 9.50 p.m.
01:28So he'd been asleep for hours
01:29Oh yeah
01:30Hours
01:30Yeah, right in REM sleep
01:33Right in REM sleep, yeah
01:35Right in the middle
01:36First responders needed to use a tourniquet
01:39To stop the bleeding
01:41Sure, sure
01:43He said he was dreaming that people were breaking into his home
01:46And he fired a .357 caliber revolver
01:50I'm telling you
01:51This should more and more
01:52Like when you're trying to decide to be with somebody
01:55You need to ask them about their dreams
01:58You need to ask them
02:01So
02:01You ever got up
02:03You ever
02:04Found yourself in like a different room
02:07And woke up
02:08Like you do things in your sleep
02:10That are scary
02:10I can't imagine being with someone who does stuff in their sleep
02:15Yeah
02:16Me either
02:17No way
02:17Because to me
02:18You wouldn't sleep well
02:19No
02:19Eventually you're attacked
02:21Because it's a nightmare or something like that
02:23And then you're the one that's beside them
02:25Besides sleep sex
02:26Yeah, there could be an upside
02:28There's upside
02:29There could be an upside
02:30But also
02:31Could get murdered
02:33Well, downside
02:33Downside
02:34Downside
02:35Upside sex
02:36Downside murder
02:37Yeah, I mean
02:38Hopefully you just can somehow talk him into
02:40You know, awake sex
02:42For sure
02:43But extra bonus
02:45Nighttime sleep sex
02:46Like you don't want to be with someone who can grab a gun maybe
02:49And start shooting it
02:50I feel like this guy was sleeping with a gun in his hand
02:53I feel like it too
02:54You'd have to, right?
02:56Like under your pillow
02:57Or like
02:58It had to be right beside him
02:59He was really ready
03:01He was too ready
03:02Yeah
03:03Maybe things happen where he lives
03:04He's gotta be ready
03:05Yeah, that's true
03:06He's just an old guy
03:07Just an old guy
03:08That's it
03:08It doesn't seem like it would be like
03:10Crazy, dangerous place
03:11It's this little village of 5,000 people
03:13Yeah, but no
03:15And like Andy said
03:16Just old guy
03:17Old guy
03:17Just old guy
03:18Everybody's always trying to steal stuff from me
03:20Break into my property
03:21I hope they do
03:22I sleep with this
03:24Smith & Wesson
03:25I got a Colt 45
03:28I wonder if he woke up and thought
03:32Someone shot him at first
03:33Maybe
03:35I think you'd be very confused
03:37If you woke up with
03:38A gunshot wound
03:39Yeah
03:39Right?
03:40Trying to figure out
03:40Especially if you're headed
03:41You convinced people were breaking into your eyes
03:43Yeah
03:44Yep
03:44How dumb does he feel?
03:46Oh, God
03:47He had to make that call
03:48Imagine that
03:509-1-1
03:51Oh, boy
03:52You know
03:54Well, hurry
03:56Number one
03:57Hurry and get here quick
03:58But
04:01Shot myself in the leg
04:04I cuddle my gun at night
04:06Yeah, well, you shouldn't do that
04:07I do
04:08I'm ready
04:09You know how many
04:11Kids there are these days
04:13Trying to break in
04:14Oh, we'll send somebody right away, sir
04:16I'm dying
04:17So, please hurry
04:20My blood is going out
04:24I mean, yeah
04:26Yeah
04:27That magnum makes a big hole on the way out
04:30Oh, sure
04:31Yeah, I wonder
04:32Pretty serious damage to himself there
04:34I'm hoping it was maybe grazed and
04:36Well, tourniquet, though
04:37So, he got himself
04:38Tourniquet, yeah
04:39He got himself
04:40Oof
04:40I had
04:41Just remember what happened to me last night
04:44So, I woke up
04:45Actually, I was
04:46I was about to fall asleep
04:48Yeah
04:48And I'm like
04:49I should probably pee before I go to bed
04:51So, I put one foot out of the bed
04:54Onto the floor
04:54I woke up like that
04:56Seven hours later
04:57So, you didn't quite make it
04:59Even out
05:00I had
05:01I was laying in the bed
05:02Did your leg fall asleep?
05:05Your foot fall asleep?
05:06Did you pee the bed?
05:06And then you peed the bed
05:07No
05:07Thankfully, I did not piss the bed
05:09Yeah
05:10That's in a few years
05:11Yeah
05:12I'm not at the piss the bed stage yet
05:14But I had
05:17One leg out of the bed
05:20Dangling on the side
05:21And the rest of me in the bed
05:24And I woke up like that
05:25When my alarm went on
05:26Oh, God
05:26You were tired
05:27You must not have needed to go that bad
05:30Oh, I went hard all day yesterday
05:32I had all sorts of stuff to do
05:33Just collapsed
05:34Wow
05:35But yeah, it wasn't really like an urgent need
05:37I'm like
05:38I should probably do that
05:39I understand that
05:40Before bed
05:41Yeah
05:42And then I'm like
05:43This morning when the alarm went up
05:44I'm like
05:45Did I not pee?
05:47I didn't pee
05:48Well, it's just funny
05:49Because like you've said
05:50You fall asleep
05:51And whatever position you're in
05:53When you fall asleep
05:54Is how you sleep the whole night
05:55Yeah
05:56You know
05:56Generally
05:57I must have a restless night
05:59But most nights
05:59I'm just
06:00To me, I think
06:01Even if my leg was off the bed
06:02When I fell asleep
06:03I would move a couple times
06:04During the night
06:05And I would never know
06:06I would never know
06:07You just woke up
06:08It was cold as ice
06:09Surprised your foot didn't fall asleep
06:11Or something
06:11Well, yeah
06:11Like the blood
06:12It was a little
06:13It took me a while
06:14To kind of
06:15Oh, man
06:15Get out of bed
06:16But
06:16It was very
06:17I've never done that before
