The homeowner was treated and released after stomach cramps caused by laughing too hard.

“The Tarrant County Medical Examiner has ruled the death an accident” It should be listed as first-degree self-homicide.

I would assume, however, that his days of reproduction are over... While the article used the euphemism "shot himself in the stomach", I think the evidence (short run from the front door to the driveway) supports a shot to the junk while also taking out the femoral artery. Reproduction days were probably over even if he had lived.

Another Darwin Award nominee. Yet his death will be lumped in among the "unfortunate deaths of children by a handgun" in the next report from the Brady bunch...

Reproduction days were probably over even if he had lived. He could have been featured on "Ow, My Balls!" in the movie "Idiocracy."

I hate to say this, but other than the damaged door and the cleanup costs, I’m not seeing a downside here.
You've come up with the best reasons not to shoot a burglar or home invader.
To: Texican72
I can smell a lawsuit coming out of this one. If recent history holds true, the dead man should receive millions for pain and suffering.

I always liked, and preferred the finding of "death by misadventure".
It at least implies a tad bit of personal responsibility in doing something stupid.
To: Texican72
Nineteen years old and he’s referred to as a man and not a child in the title? That’s a real surprise to me.
