PINSON, Ala. -- A Pinson man was charged with attempted murder for holding a gun
to his son's head and pulling the trigger in the midst of a tantrum after
Alabama's double overtime loss to Arkansas Saturday.

The bullet narrowly missed 20-year-old Seth Logan, who said he picked the wrong
time to ask his dad for a car, sheriff's spokesman Deputy Randy Christian said
Monday.

Joseph Alan Logan, 46, surrendered to police Saturday and was charged with
attempted murder and domestic violence. He was released from the Jefferson
County jail Sunday on $7,500 bond.

"I know we take football serious in the South," Christian told The Birmingham
News for a Tuesday story, "but that's crossing the line."

The request upset Joseph Logan because his son has already wrecked several
vehicles, Logan told investigators.

"He claimed he was just trying to scare his son," Christian said.

According to the police report, Joseph Logan had been drinking alcohol and began
slamming doors, tossing boxes and throwing dishes in the sink after the Crimson
Tide lost its football game to Arkansas, 34-31 in double overtime Saturday.

While Joseph Logan was throwing the tantrum, Seth Logan asked for a new car.

Joseph Logan then retrieved a 9 mm pistol from his car, grabbed his son by the
collar and pressed the gun to his son's forehead, the report said.

Logan threatened to shoot his son in the head, then pulled the trigger.

Seth Logan moved his head just as his father fired and the bullet whizzed past
him, the report said.

Seth Logan fled to a neighbor's house to call police. He told police his ear was
numb and his head ringing, but he was OK.

Sheriff's authorities called the SWAT team after discovering the armed father
still had a 13-year-old son in the house with him.

Joseph Alan Logan walked out of the house with the other son and turned himself
in to police just before the SWAT team arrived, Christian said.

A great example of why booze and guns don't mix, assholes like this guy ruin it for the responsible gunowners.

Yet again, we find a man who should've been fixed at puberty. Right now I'd be making a shitload of jokes about hicks from the South, but I kinda live here, so...

Yeah, the kid couldn't have been too bright to ask for a new car while his dad was in this state of mind...
