Man accidentally shoots himself in testicles

[oneshooter]

A man accidentally shot himself in the testicles at Lowe's Home Improvement store in Lynnwood Sunday afternoon, police said.
The man's handgun, which was in the waistband of his pants, went off at about 12:30 p.m. — an apparent "accidental discharge," according to Shannon Sessions, a Lynnwood police spokeswoman.
"It made a loud noise and scared a lot of people in the store," Sessions said. "I believe he shot himself in the testicles and he also had some injuries to his leg and foot. He was obviously in shock."
Nobody else was hurt and no one appeared to be with the man, she said.

1. It was self defense! The balls charged him. nt.

2. Usually an "accidental discharge" can be treated with penicillin . . .

But not in this case.

I guess the question here is whether this fool has reproduced yet and whether his injuries will prevent the evolutionary misstep of passing on his genes.

3. ball shot

Couldn't happen to me since my pistol WW2 German P-38? doesn't have a firing pin and I have no balls. Testicular cancer twice. Damn life can be hard.

4. Penis enlargement plan backfires.

What an idiot! :rofl:

5. Darwin award!

This has to make this years list!

19. Technically, a Darwin is for someone who removes themself from the gene pool.

I think shooting your testicles off qualifies as gene pool removal.

[shadowrider]

15. Nope. Darwins are for people who actually remove themselves from the gene pool

This guy qualifies for a Darwin "Light" though, if such an award exists.

16. Removal from the gene pool can by death or sterilization

That's assuming he's rendered himself incapable of reproducing. If he hasn't, that makes him an "At-Risk Survivor."

6. "He was obviously in shock."

As is every other asshole who has a gun magically and "accidentally" discharge.
At least this time he only shot his balls off, and he didn't shoot someone else "accidentally".

7. "And THAT Ladies and Gentlemen is why you should ALWAYS CC

with a quality holster!"

No kidding. I'm curious as to what type of mickey mouse set-up he had, and what type of pistol he was carrying.

Fools like this don't just endanger themselves. I'm all for prosecution of those who can't be bothered with safe carrying.

9. Natural selection. Those who aren't smart enough

not to shove a loaded gun down their pants pointed at their groin don't go on to have kids of their own.

10. Junk shot

n/t

14. Duzy!

13. Another gun-safety lesson my father taught me:

"Holsters. Because only retards and criminals put a fucking gun in their waistbands."

[Nailzberg]

17. Well, he's pretty stupid for carrying in his waistband.

That's not something a responsible gun owner would ever think of doing.

But it does sound like he won't be reproducing after this incident.

[krispos42]

18. Maybe he needs to play more attention to the shelving and less to the ladies

Oh, man, look at the ass on her! Damn, she tightens my shorts! Look at the way she works it!

BLAM!

"Ah, shit! Somebody call nine-one-one!"

Fuck! My dick just shot my nuts off!

[jazzhound]

21. OMG

:rofl:

22. WTF?!?

I normally don't make light of stories like this but this and the "junk shot" post....:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :spray:

23. If charged

Ya think he'll push his case all the way to the SCROTUS ?
