The only thing that can stop a bad MRI with a gun is a good MRI with a gun.

How did she sneak it in though? Usually aren't you wearing a hospital gown at this point?

Sadly this isn't the first time. Years ago I read a story about a man who took his mother to get an MRI. While he was there his gun went off and killed her.

Anyone remember the “anal rail gun” from earlier this year? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mri-butt-plug-injuries/

Saw a similar case this year here in Brazil, earlier in february. A pro-gun lawyer was accompanying his mother on a MRI. Once the thing started, his gun, a 9mm pistol, was sucked and shot once it got stuck on the MRI, hitting the man in the belly. He died 21 days later.

On the bright side, she prevented an attack by a gunman in the MRI.
