So much for packing a, um, rod

It's a lesson he should have learned from Plaxico Burress -- but this was worse.

A 15-year-old Brooklyn boy shot himself in the penis Sunday after fumbling with a gun that had slid from his waistband, authorities said yesterday.

Khamir Grant was then arrested for reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon -- the same charges levied against Burress, who shot himself at a Manhattan nightclub in 2008, law-enforcement sources said.

Grant's doom.

Possible Darwin Award here.

I think you have another Ping for the Mangled Genital Ping List.

BTW, Can you add me to the list?

[Abathar]

Plaxico Burress was his role model I guess.

[Artemis Webb]

Khamir huh.

[AlaskaErik]

Idiot. I never carry a pistol unless it’s in a holster that covers the trigger.

[Joe 6-pack]

Another case of a youth going off half-cocked.

Well, that'll teach it. ;)

[Puppage]

and criminal possession of a dead weapon

That's more like it......

[Abathar]

Hey at least his girlfriend can keep him from straying, all she needs is a combination lock now...

[Mind Freed]

Shot off his WHAT????? Look, I’m all for going by the law and making people pay the consequences for their actions... But damn, that sounds like he paid enough.

[humblegunner]

Penis shooting ping.

Oh, well. Probably wasn't a six-shooter, anyway. ;)

[Zeddicus]

I really wish stories like this would say exactly what kind of gun the imbecile shot himself with. Every time I hear one of these, I can't for the life of me understand how they manage this.

It would be impossible for me to "accidentally " shoot myself with my Beretta 92fs, unless I was carrying it chambered, cocked, safety off, and I was also unaware that the trigger is what makes it go bang.

Anybody that incredibly stupid deserves to shoot themselves in the junk.

[P8riot]

no double entendre here I see

[Jemian]

Nope. close but no cigar.

A primary requirement for a Darwin candidate is that the candidate must be dead.

[OB1kNOb]

....after fumbling with a gun.... ?

More like premature eject-ulation from playing with his gun.

[Natural Law]

That’s gonna leave a mark!

Rule number one of firearms ownership: Never point a loaded firearm at your own d***. Ever. And that includes carrying that firearm around by shoving it down your pants.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

That's the last round he's ever going to be squeezing off. ;)
