Moviegoers at a screening of The Bourne Legacy near Reno, Nev. had a bit of a scare on Tuesday night, when a man adjusted himself in his seat and ended up discharging his gun right into his own backside. According to witnesses, he apologized to the rest of the theater and promptly left the movie. No one else was hurt.

As soon as the gun went off, he wasted no time in telling everyone he was sorry and vamoosing. Cops found him shortly afterward at a nearby hospital where he was seeking treatment for the bum wound. He did have a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon, it turns out — which still doesn't mean it's necessarily a bright idea to bring a gun to a movie theater.
