Finally! An accidental-shooting story that doesn’t make me want to weep. Poor guy, but there you go: a cautionary tale that can make us smile.

This is why I never carry a gun aimed at my dick.

Watch where you point that thing and the gun too.

You'd think guys would be a tiny bit more protective of that particular part of their anatomy. I'm all in favor of stupid guys shooting their dicks off. Less procreation for them is a good thing for us.

Really? This is a real thing?

Whenever I see some idiot on a TV show or in a movie stuff a loaded gun into his pants (and it is always a guy), I think to myself that that is the stupidest way imaginable to carry a gun. No sane person in real life would do that, right? Right?!

Apparently I'm wrong. There really are people that stupid.

If more Americans had guns, this would not have happened.

@6 This is how a a very large percentage of self inflicted accidental (semi-auto) gun shots are caused. That and people drawing with a finger inside the trigger guard. I know. I know.

The stupid. It is strong.

This reminds me of a certain Super Bowl hero wide receiver. That said, think of all the movies and TV shows and music videos where guys carry guns along their waists. Stories like this just call for proper gun safety education.

When holsters are outlawed only outlaws will ... I forget where I was going with this.

They SELL inexpensive holsters that clip onto your waistband if you REALLY need to carry like that.

Save $20, shoot your dick. Nothing like going off half-cocked, is there?

@6 Where do you think people learn about guns? Certainly not from their parents -its from Music and TV and you know the level of mis-information is sky high now that those two industries have been privatized.

"He could now face weapons charges."

I would put money on him being a felon and not allowed to own a gun.

Rules of gun safety, treat all guns are loaded, never point it at anything you aren't willing to destroy, especially your own willie. Most I read a law enforcement report that gangbangers carry guns in their waist bands with no holster. Karma is a bitch.

IMHO If he shot his dick off he shouldn't have to go to jail. There is no amount of jail that can equal that punishment.

Don't tell me ... was the offending member wearing a hoodie and just poking around aimlessly?

I live in South Park and I am not gonna lie,I too find this to be funny...serves him right. Why was he carrying the gun around in the first place? Glad he used it on himself rather than some innocent person in our neighborhood.
