Shrinking The Gene Pool – Sorta?
Okay, this is via Drudge so you’ve all probably seen it, but I needed a laugh…
Police urge holster use after man shoots his own penis
As Chandler residents Joshua Seto, 27, and his fiancée, Cara Christopher, walked over to a Fry’s Food Store for refreshments, he tried securing her pink handgun in the front waistband of his pants.
The gun fired, striking Seto’s penis and continuing through his left thigh. The bleeding started immediately and was heavy, according to police dispatch recordings released Sunday.
“He is still conscious, there is just a lot of blood,” Christopher , 26, told 9-1-1 operators and dispatchers.
I’m sincerely NOT laughing at this guy’s pain and suffering. It’s just the images that flashed thru MY mind that cracked me up. Pink pistol – the look on his face just before the pain hit – the look on his face when he realized just where he’d been hit, I could go on… For some reason I kept thinking of The Three Stooges?
As usual with a Geezer post; YMMV.
ETA: An accidental discharge simply ain’t as rare as we ALL would like to think. I’ve been handling firearms since I was about 10 or so. I’ve had some great teachers over the years and am careful enough to be annoying, but Murphy’s Law says I will have an AD sooner or later. Exit question: Ever been to a range where someone swept you with an ’empty’ gun?

I am. Who the hell is stupid enough to pull shit like that? You’d think people have never heard of Plaxico Burress?
Stupidity SHOULD be painful, and in this case, it was. Now take the damn gun away from him.
Seriously, when I first read this at least half a dozen lewd comments about pink killing his unit, chambered rounds, etc. ran through my mind.
Funny, I missed the part in the gun safety course where it taught you to stuff a gun down the front of your pants.
Oh, wait…
He’s changing his name to Stubby.
He completely misunderstood when he was told “this is my rifle, this is my gun”….
And can we say negligent discharge instead of accidental? I snort and guffaw every time I read the latter.
Wonder if she’s still going to marry him.
“Wonder if she’s still going to marry him.”
Hopefully only AFTER the life insurance policy is in place.
I’d also GET a larger caliber handgun, but that’s just me.
well since he was doing it with a pink gun, maybe he was going for a cheap sex change?
Thirty plus years handling firearms – there is no such thing as an ‘accidental’ discharge. There are, however, plenty of negligent discharges.
BandB #9: I dunno just what difference twixt accidental and negligent means in this context? How does it help this poor schmuck?
When he tells the story to his friends– he better never leave out the part that it was a “pink’ gun that did in his man pride… bwwwahhhaa
#11 Would YOU ever tell this story to anyone?
I think maybe because “accidental” implies that he may need pharmaceutical assistance, Ponzarelli.
Doc,
Nope, but then I wouldn’t be stupid enough to stuff a gun in my pants either.. lol
Anyone who would stuff a gun in his pants, should.
