    1. Make sure that the gun is not aimed at anything you don't want to lose.

    2. Check rule #1.

    A woman shot herself in the derriere when the magnetism in an MRI caused the gun to go off. I kid you not. And this is not the first time this has happened. More than one person has been killed by allowing something magnetic and potentially dangerous to get too close to the MRI machine.

    Woman shot in the buttock when MRI machine triggers her concealed gun, FDA reports

    People are dumb.

    I'm not sure I would have thought through the idea that the strong magnets in an MRI could make a gun go off, but thankfully I’d be safe because I also wouldn’t have ever considered trying to get an MRI while I had a pistol strapped to my hip in the first place.

    But how are you supposed to defend your family if there’s a bad guy inside the MRI machine?

    I had an ultrasound done a few months ago by a technician who said she was from Ghana. She seemed really nice, but I kept my hand on my gun the whole time, just in case. You can never be too sure.

    "We are going to build the yugest and best new MRI machines. Believe me. We have good people, the very best people, amazing people, working on repelling and replacing these loser, anti gun, anti constitutional machines. Ugly machines. I assume some are good machines. I know lives will be lost if we ban them, but those people are losers. Ban all MRI's until we can come up with a 2A friendly version. We will build these new, beautiful machines and make Pfizer pay for them.
    These machines will let me just grab them by the power cord if I want. I will make these $h!thole MRI's great again."

    - Orange Dude... probably

    Also, you should leave your cell phone with your gun somewhere outside the MRI. The story is a bit complicated to explain fully.

    MRI’s are noisy. Who’d know if you shot a gun while in one ?

    Is “subcutaneous tissue” the medical term for fat ass?

    The only thing that could make this funnier is if it was a semi and more of that subcutaneous tissue got pinched hard in the slide.

    I'm going to need a translation . . . On second thought, never mind.
