Man shoots himself while stuffing gun in waistband

GREAT FALLS (AP) - A 22-year-old Great Falls man shot off his right testicle Friday while stuffing a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun in his waistband, police said.

Officer Keith Perkins said the man, whom he declined to identify, was upset because a buddy had been cut in a bar fight and several friends, including the 22-year-old, were in a parking lot looking for the culprits in the predawn hours.

"When the group decided not to do what they were going to do, he decided he was going to take the gun back home," Perkins said.

The man, who had been drinking, shot off his testicle, injured his penis and put a hole in his right thigh, the officer said. A friend took him to the hospital.

The officer said police initially thought of ticketing the man for disorderly conduct but likely won't, under the circumstances.

"...maybe there is a reason those people on TV always put the gun in the BACK of their waistbands?"

Had he done so, now he would now be a half-assed gunman....

You'd think wouldn't ya? But there is a guy in my town who runs a cycle shop who tried that very thing with a .22 and shot himself in the @ssh0le. Earned himself a nice colostomy bag for a short while.

Okay folks, holsters are relatively cheap compared to major surgery.

The circumstances being that he couldn't stop laughing long enough to write the ticket!

I'll bet dollars to donuts you're right.

When you think about it, would "hollow point" be any better? As one of the guys remarked on the previous thread: BALLSEYE.

Not sure about that one. I do remember a thread here where a cop allegedly shot herself by pitching her Glock (in its holster) onto the bed. As I recall, the folks on that thread were somewhat skeptical of the details given.
