KOKOMO, Ind. — Oh, shoot!

A man accidentally shot himself in the groin as he was robbing a convenience store Tuesday, police said.

A clerk told police a man carrying a semiautomatic handgun entered the Village Pantry demanding cash and a pack of cigarettes. The clerk put the cash in a bag and as she turned to get the cigarettes, she heard the gun discharge.

Police say surveillance video shows the man shooting himself as he placed the gun in the waistband of his pants. The clerk wasn't injured.

A short time later, police found 25-year-old Derrick Kosch at a home with a gunshot wound to his right testicle and lower left leg.

Kosch was released from the hospital Tuesday and booked into the Howard County jail on a charge of armed robbery, criminal recklessness and battery. He is being held on a $100,000 cash bail. A jail official did not know if he had retained an attorney Wednesday. lac

in the belt concealed carry is common both from a CCW holder and an off duty LEO thing.

hands off the trigger, keep it cocked and locked for SA autos and just locked for DA autos. and just keep your hand away from the trigger for DA revolvers....

"There’s a slang term for that sort of carry that I can’t recall...

"Mexican?"

Yes, ironically enough, that's the word!

When I had my CCW permit I never carried like that. I used a shoulder holster or a inside pocket.

Yesterday’s thread tells how this balled up individual was a cop. What is it these days that so many cops in our urban centers end up committing armed robbery?
