A man apparently speeding in Norfolk, Va., accidentally shot himself in the groin after he waved a firearm at bystanders who told him to slow down, police told FoxNews.com
Rhonney Jacobs was speeding through the neighborhood when he was flagged down by two men, Norfolk police said. He made a U-turn and confronted one of the men, police said.
There was a struggle and Jacobs pulled out his .45-caliber gun and it accidentally discharged into his groin, police said. One witness told WTKR.com that he pulled his gun out “trying to shoot one of them but he shot himself." She said there was blood everywhere.

Well if he kept himself from reproducing, just possibly he did do the Darwin type service for the gene pool.

He really needs to work on the quick draw sequence.
It's draw and then shoot, not the other way around...........Just saying.

Probably a semi-auto single action only with the chamber loaded and the safety off. Good way to shoot yourself.

“using ball ammo?”
That’s the ammo of choice for performing a .45 caliber vasectomy.

Good way to shoot yourself.Actually, it's good practice, especially considering many weapons do not have an exposed hammer. However, I understand in this case the clown did not have a holster and was trying to extract the weapon from his waistband. Had his finger on the trigger.

Yes, I know its good practice, I forgot to say the safety was probably off also:). I wouldn’t carry a 1911 or equivalent unless it was loaded and locked. An unloaded gun is useless. I’ve been shooting since I was nine, I am 71 now, just thought I would mention that.
