Eldrin Bell: Fail.

There’s a lesson here, and it isn’t pretty.

[Clayton County Commissioner Eldrin] Bell was one of 600-800 people attending strip club franchise owner Jack Galardi’s invitation-only, annual Fourth of July party in Butts County on Saturday. Galardi’s empire includes Pink Pony South, a recently opened strip club in Forest Park.

Bell said he took advantage of a firing range on Galardi’s 500-acre Flovilla ranch to try out a friend’s new “high caliber” handgun.

“Fire jumped out between the barrel and the cylinder [the cylinder gap] and really cauterized, burned my thumb,” Bell said Monday. “It looks ugly.”
