Man accidentally shoots himself in testicles

Wouldn't the man screaming make a few people uncomfortable, as well? :huh:

 

Why would I carry a gun? Because when seconds count the police are only minutes away. And even though anti-gun advocates keep saying that guns cause crime, FBI statistics don't confirm that hypothesis. Even though gun purchases increased dramatically when Obama and the Democrats looked likely to take office in 2008 murder and other violent crimes have gone down.

Sigmund Freud: "A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity."


Mahatma Gandhi: "Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest."

I wish I said this: "Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars."

The Dalai Lama: "If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun."

 

No mention of the calibre of the uh...weapon?

Will he be doing everything half-cocked from now on?

 

i hate when that happens.

 

Oi! ound:

 

Why would you carry a cocked weapon in the front of your pants..... when your shopping at LOWES, of all places.
Must be one hell of a tuff crowd in the Paint and Outdoor depts this time of year!

 

Who on earth knows but when I carry mine all three safeties are engaged and I carry it in a holster so that the trigger can not accidentally be activated. This poor man probably just had a sudden overwhelming need to scratch. He probably won't have such an overwhelming need or even that problem in the future.

 

To quote Pogo:

"We have found the enemy and they are us"

 

I bet he's not half the man he used to be.

What kind of weapon is he packing now? A sawn-off shotgun, or just a snub-nosed revolver?

 

Because it isn't safe to leave it in the car. For a first hand explanation, just ask (former) Seattle Police Chief Kerlikowski.

Further discussion of reasons is banished to FHOPolitics.

 

Without knowing the details, its hard to believe he just shot his testicles, especially if the gun was in his waistband. I would think his pecker must have taken some damage unless he was stimulated and it was pointing up and away. Or his gun was on the right side but his shaft was on the left side.

Not too long ago we had a football player who shot himself in his leg at a bar. Both of these guys are not too smart.

 

I think the guy is nuts... Well he was nuts, now he is nutless.

Just a question here... but what are the odds that you're going to be in a major retail store like Lowe's while it's being robbed?

Heck, what are the odds that someone is going to rob a major retail store like Lowe's? A small store with one register is a much better bet than trying to go down a row of 10 registers to get cash, giving the cops time to catch up with you.

Heck, I've been in and out of both small and large retail stores my entire life... and I've never seen anyone rob the place while I was there. Sure, IF it happens while you're in there, you can pull your gun and shoot at the guy... and he can shoot back at you. Who knows, one of you might even hit something. Of course, you also have the option of simply walking away - the store is huge, and he's not going to spend his time searching through the whole thing just to get the $20 in your wallet.

It's called the 21 foot rule. If I'm within 21 feet of you, I can close the distance before you have time to draw, aim, and fire. Outside of 21 feet, i have other options, like negotiating or running away. very few people in our society can accurately shoot a moving target 21 feet away.

 

One moron down, millions to go....

 

Does it seem to some of you that some of these guys wearing a gun are less concerned with their safety, but just trying to make a statement: "Don't mess with me?"

A poser?

 

Aren't they really compensating for having a small prick?

 

I don't need a gun to feel safe. More people do end up hurting themselves or unintentionally hurting other with guns then ever shooting a criminal. Well said eagle33199.
