Live Boston reports police and EMTs responded to Rockwell Street, off Washington Street, after a man apparently shot himself in his own penis around 2 a.m.

Police found the man sitting on the steps in front of his apartment, but found a blood trail leading to his apartment. The discharge appeared accidental, police said.

To be fair, the penis had it coming.

antifa and armed with a soup can.

Seriously.

But I guess the sort of person who doesn't think through the risks of tucking a gun in their waistband is exactly the sort of person who will be carrying a loaded gun in their waistband with the safety off.

If you carry illegally, you never have a holster.

Take your time, MIT, think it through.

PS: If you shoot yourself in the dick with a modern pistol your finger is, by definition, on the trigger.

I don't see anything about that in the article. I see no reason to assume this isn't one of those law-abiding gunowners that we've been told will always use guns responsibly for the safety and protection of others.

Boy, I'm glad people like that are out here keeping our streets safe.

I fully support gun owners shooting themselves in the genitals (preferably before reproducing)

Pointing guns at your balls is apparently a "thing" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/30/us-gun-owners-meme-feud

No indication this particular person was one of those.

He will be shooting blanks now.

By tachometer on Wed, 09/02/2020 - 2:57pm.

and just misunderstood the "shooting blanks" expression.
