An Illinois man who had his Firearm Owners Identification Card revoked has been charged after he accidentally shot himself while dreaming that his home was being broken into, according to a press release from the city of Lake County.
On April 10, Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies arrived at the home of Mark M. Dicara, 62, and found him with a gunshot wound to the leg.
Dicara said he had a dream that someone was breaking into his home, retrieved his .357 Magnum Revolver and shot at who he thought was the intruder -- only to shoot himself, which caused him to wake from the dream.
The bullet went through Dicara’s leg and lodged itself into his bedding.
Dicara was charged with Possession of a Firearm without a Valid FOID Card, which is a Class 3 Felony, and Reckless Discharge of a Firearm, which is a Class 4 Felony.
