What a mistake to make, huh? Rachel Avila thought the .22-caliber North American Arms “derringer style” revolver was a cigarette lighter. She pulled the trigger twice, the second time the gun fired, and the round ricocheted off the ground. LOL wtf! Details after the jump.

Avila and her 12-year-old daughter “were talking with friends in front of their mobile home when Avila found what she thought was a novelty lighter…Avila picked it up and tried to light it by pulling the trigger. The first time Avila pulled the trigger, nothing happened. The second time she pulled the trigger, a .22-caliber bullet was fired. The bullet struck the ground, and then ricocheted upward and entered her daughter’s upper right arm.”
