There was a story that he got gut-shot when his girlfriend was pulling off his boots. A Derringer hit the floor, they said. Who knows.
Yep. I remember that Mike.
Here’s what he said about it in an interview:
“It's an incident that still makes Hill cringe, as he admitted during an interview in early 2014. "My first reaction was: ‘[bleep]!’ And then ‘Ouch.’ I couldn’t believe I’d done something so stupid. To this day, I don’t know how I could do it," he shrugged. "But I didn’t really feel anything at the time. All I knew was that I had to get myself to a hospital straight away, so I got in the car and drove there. It was only when I arrived at the hospital that the seriousness of what I’d done hit me, and I went into shock." “Fortunately, Hill fully recovered, and was back in bass-playing shape by the time ZZ Top reconvened to record the follow-up to their hugely successful 1983 album Eliminator. The result, their ninth studio set Afterburner, arrived in the fall of 1985 and helped the band close out the decade as one of rock's top acts.

That will probably bring an end to the band. Gibbons can and probably will play with someone else but I don't see ZZ picking up another bass player. Some shoes can't be filled.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
They started about the time the Johns Manville plant shut down.

Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience

Yep. There will never be another Dusty Hill.
He and Frank Beard actually started the band.
