Default Man accidentally shoots self in genitals

He told police he bought a gun on the street in Kansas and had planned to sell it in a convenience store parking lot near SE 44 and Shields Boulevard. On the way there, he pulled over to make sure the gun functioned properly.

Call me crazy,but shooting yourself in the genitals,though affective as it may be,seems a terrible way to find out if your gun is functioning properly.

Umm, OUCH! I would have just shot at the ground or a tree limb to see if it worked. He could have shot at his toe or some other part, but not your junk. That's just stupid.

......A felon was jailed after he told police he shot himself in the genitals while preparing a gun for sale......

Amazing this stuff really happens.

I knew a millwright who walked with a little limp, he finally told me what happened. He had a Colt revolver and holster and was showing off with friends on his "quick draw". Well he tried it and blew a few toes off.

If you try that stunt, unload the gun first.

My wife works for the court system here in Los Angeles and a few times a week people will come thru the security check to go to court and put their drugs in a little tray to be scanned. And about twice a month they will come thru and pull out their firearms and put them in the tray to be scanned. Their not going to court because they're smart and upstanding citizens.
