Bit shocking, I think that this man needs a gun safe which takes at least two wakeful actions to open

Would it be bad taste to make a joke about him shooting his load while asleep?

I have no idea, but I chuckled a little regardless.

There's someone who won't "stand his ground" for a while.

If sleep shooting was the best story he could come up with, I can only imagine how embarrassing how he *actually* shot himself must have been.
