In East Texas, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.

Jason Paul Bryant, 37, a concealed handgun licensee, dropped by the Gateway Travel Plaza in Orange, Texas, on a hot Texas afternoon.

The police chief explains what happened next.

“He walked maybe six feet in the door when he pulled his shorts up, something caught the trigger and the gun discharged into his leg,” Vanover said. “People immediately rushed over to help.”

I will lay you money that at least five of them had their guns drawn.

By the way, in case anyone asks, pulling up your shorts is called “hiking up your britches” in Texas.

So, here’s what happened next.

No charges were filed against Bryant for the negligent discharge.

You know, accidents happen.  What you gonna do?

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
