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.

I hate it when it does that.

It won’t be long before the psycho wonks come up with a syndrome—The Plaxico Burris Syndrome.

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

Technically it is just "removed from the gene pool" which is usually by death. In this case, the punk is probably still capable of reproducing - so he is still not really a Darwin award candidate. But if he were a more effective accidental shooter, then he would be the unique legitimate SURVIVING Darwin Award candidate.

Nope .............

Actual winners must meet the following criteria:

Reproduction - Out of the gene pool: dead or sterile.

Excellence - Astounding misapplication of judgment.

Self-Selection - Cause one’s own demise.

Maturity - Capable of sound judgment.

Veracity -The event must be true.

I would bet a glock.

Why would a Glock be more unlikely than a revolver?

This sort of accident is actually a GOOD thing for the gene pool.

That’s just a matter of time. The ‘before reproducing’ requirement may have been satisfied.... That’s why he’s a candidate, rather than a winner at this stage.

Some guns have only a palm safety. Therefore, when the weapon slips down their pants, and their trying to feel for it (sorry), they inadvertantly pull the trigger—which probably has a light pull anyway.

I suspect the gun was small cheap automatic. Accidentally firing a single shot revolver tends to be a bit more difficult because the trigger pull must do a lot more than on an automatic. The trigger action rotates the cylinder as well as releasing the sear.

A Glock doesn’t have a decocker.

Real men and confident women have no problem with them. Maybe it is just a bit too much of a "grown-up" gun for some people.

Worldwide sale further proves you mistaken.

Finally it appears you couldn't answer my simple question either.
