Could you imagine ??? “Nope; I has mah ryghts to concealed carry and not tell you about the metal object in my waistband, you bunch of medical machine operatin’ nerds!”

Some people have to learn the hard way. He was one of them.

He wouldnt have spoken in a southern US drawl because...he was a Brazilian in Sao Paulo.

But he was a gun advocate on TikTok or something. It was some physical thing that snagged his gun and made it go off. Not the magnetic resonance of the machine. But yes...he shoulda taken it out along with his car keys.

Maybe something snagged the trigger, maybe not I dunno if these forces can make a gun go off.. but the machine clearly pulled his gun from his waistband:

“According to reports, the gun advocate's weapon was pulled out of his waistband by the machine, before it discharged into his stomach.”

Yes, 100% that’s what happened.

People who’ve gone into MRI rooms with other metallic objects have been violently smashed against the machine and killed when the magnets attract the object.

Didnt actually watch the vid till just now.

So if you have steel braces in your back (like a guy I know) you just cant get an MRI?

Correct - many people with implants that use steel cannot get MRIs done. People with pacemakers are in a similar situation. In these cases, other types of imagery are used. This is one reason why many modern implants use non-ferrous metals like titanium.

In this particular case, given that there are some firearms that can discharge from a severe impact, such as many models of Taurus (a Brazilian manufacturer), this story really isn't that far-fetched.

Sometimes even a light impact will do. Or, just jiggle it a little...

They're checking my mom for metal slivers from her job before her MRI, as far as she's claimed.

Not all steels are the same.

Most stainless steel are typically non-magnetic, so items containing it should not be a problem around an MRI. I used to wear stainless steel braces around a 300 MHz NMR in grad school that had a field strength of 7.4 Tesla without an issue. MRIs are just a larger version of NMRs. They use a biological sample instead of a chemical one.

Well, if he was willing to die for his beliefs and go about it in a stupid fashion, he chose the right state. In this case Florida Man was an impassioned, Hispanic attorney. Gotta hand it to him, he went out with a bang. And in the end, what more could any gun rights advocate wish for?!

I'm a Florida native and resident, who has a penchant for firearms. I'm not carrying one though.

I asked beforehand about metal splinters when I've had MRIs, and they said it wouldn't be a problem. Haven't lost any fingers.
