Yet Another Responsible Gun Owner Shoots His Own Penis [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Autumn (a host of the General Discussion forum).

At least five American men have shot off their penises since 2010.

I keep hearing about these responsible gun owners who are so very careful with their dangerous weapons, so I can only conclude that this guy did it on purpose!

A man in Macon, Georgia accidentally shot himself in the penis while attempting to holster his gun last week.

According to WMAZ Channel 13, the man was parked at a gas station and was attempting to put away the .45 caliber pistol when it discharged, striking him in the groin. The man immediately drove to a friend’s house.

According to police, the victim dropped his pants to find that he had shot himself in the penis and that the bullet had exited his body through the buttocks. As he disrobed, the spent round fell to the floor.

Sounds like you've been studying this too long. Eleanors38 Jun 2014 #27
Honestly, though, your argument completely disavows statistics. Gravitycollapse Jun 2014 #41
No, it doesn't. It is 100% accurate in all cases. MohRokTah Jun 2014 #43
Do you even comprehend the extent to which you have no idea what you're talking about? Gravitycollapse Jun 2014 #48
You may understand statistics, but you fail to understand simple language MohRokTah Jun 2014 #50

why did he have a gun out at a gas station? NightWatcher Jun 2014 #9
A concealed holster would potentially point the gun at your nether regions. Gravitycollapse Jun 2014 #12
Add to that the fact that he was sitting in the car while trying to get the pistol in the holster. hedda_foil Jun 2014 #14
