I can't vouch for this but I've seen the story a couple of times. A couple of southern gentlemen were far back in the woods doing what they do with .22 cal. rifles. It got late and was dark on the way out. As luck would have it, the fuse for the headlights blew. It was a dark and moonless forest road and they were going nowhere without lights. A frantic search revealed notning useful anywhere in the truck. It was then one of them noticed a .22 LR was the same size as the fuse. He popped it in place and off they went. The hospital report later described the accident and the gunshot wound in the driver's foot. There was a real short and the bullet got hot and discharged. The pain in his foot caused the driver to lose control and crash. (If its not true, it should be!)
